News From Room 106
March 15, 2024
Families,
It was great to see all of you at Parent/Teacher conferences last week. We enjoyed being able to talk about all of the progress and growth the students have had so far this year!
As we are nearing the end of this school year, we will have several days that we are testing. Upcoming tests include our final NWEA-MAP and the state test, MSTEP. Students will be taking the MSTEP on April 17 and 24. I will send out our NWEA-MAP testing dates soon. Please try and have your students in attendance on testing days. Thank you!
The final day to sell popcorn for our Big Mike's Popcorn Fundraiser is Monday, March, 18th! Thank you for support!
Have a great weekend!

Woodview & Ellis Fundraiser- Big Mike's Popcorn Sale
Big Mike's Popcorn Sale
Woodview is excited to announce that we are participating in Big Mike’s Kettle Corn fundraiser starting Friday, March 1st and ending Monday, March 18th. We will be selling both kettle corn and caramel corn. (You might have tasted some of his delicious products from a previous fundraiser.) The cost is $10.00 per 15oz bag. The pickup date is scheduled for March 25th. Pick-up location and other information will be shared at a later date.
The proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards playground equipment, help to cover some of the cost of field trips, and much, much more.
There will be prizes at each grade level and for the three overall top sellers for each building. For every bag a student sells, their name will be put into a grade level drawing for prizes. Grade level prizes include footballs, soccer balls, wireless speakers, outdoor games, board games and many more prizes. The top seller will receive a $50 gift card, 2nd place a $30 gift card and 3rd a $20 gift card.
