Building a community of leaders for a better world.
It's a BIG week at Reed Elementary...
This week your child will have an opportunity to participate in "Polar Express" where they will experience the movie, have hot cocoa and special decorations. They are invited to wear pajamas on their designated day. We ask that pajamas be appropriate for school and if they wear slippers, please send tennis shoes in their backpack for recess. On the day your child has Polar Express, they will not have specials.
Polar Express days are as follows:
- Monday - 1st, 2nd, 5th grades
- Tuesday - ELE/SLE/PK, Kinder, 3rd, 4th grades

Counselor's Corner
Our Buddy Benches are on the playgrounds! Are you wondering what a Buddy Bench is? The Buddy Bench idea was started by an 8 year old boy in Pennsylvania, named Christian. He had the idea of having a bench that was designated for students that weren’t sure who to play with or who to talk to.
On Wednesday, our students were introduced to the Buddy Benches with a skit performed by some of our C2 students. We have a bench on each playground.
A huge thank you to the Home Depot on Lakeline Blvd that donated the benches!
Attendance last week was: 95.2%
PTA Happenings
We continue to collect BoxTops so keep sending them - they are helping us move toward the purchase of a shade structure for the small playground! We will also start collecting Capri Sun/Kool-aid drink pouches! They can be turned in to the box in the cafeteria - leave the straw in - just make sure you drink all the juice!
The faculty would like to thank Alicia Matt and all the parents who donated the amazing food for the Soup for the Soul teacher event - it was DELICIOUS - and made for such a wonderful day!
CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS...
This is the time of the year for giving. Why not give the gift of reading? Books continue to be a source of pleasure and learning long after the wrapping is torn off. Here are some suggestions for your shopping list:
