South Elementary April Newsletter
Where we are growing minds and touching hearts
This year is flying!
It is April already!! Unbelievable. This month will fly by just as quickly as the previous ones. Teachers will be working to provide all the instruction, support, and help to the students as they prepare for the next round of STAAR testing. Please keep encouraging your child to work hard and not to stress about the test. We have several different activities going on this month, including the return of the Cowboy Cookout, and hope to see all of you there. Thank you for all the work you put into your child everyday and allowing us the opportunity to work with them. Its going to be a great month!

Open Door Donations
The high school PALS program is sponsoring a donation drive for the Open Door the Month of April. Below are the items that each grade level is being asked to bring. Donations may be dropped off in the donation boxes outside of office.
April 27 - National Poem in Your Pocket Day
Every April, on Poem in Your Pocket Day, people celebrate by selecting a poem, carrying it with them, and sharing it with others throughout the day at schools, bookstores, libraries, parks, workplaces, and on Twitter using the hashtag #pocketpoem.
At South, we will be having a Poetry Slam Day, in which students will be encouraged to share their poem throughout the day.
Spring Pictures
Your child will be bringing home proofs of his/her Spring Pictures. If you would like to order, you may order online, or send the order form with check/money order to school with your child and he/she will turn into Mrs. Moore in the library.
Don't forget about those box tops
We are still collecting box tops, turning in your box tops is a free way to help support our school by giving us additional money to spend on students.
