MESSAGE FROM MRS. MOTZNY
Dear Parents,
We have many jackets, coats, sweaters, etc. in our Lost and Found. We will be donating all of the items collected at the end of the day on Friday, March 11th. Please encourage your child to look through the Lost and Found for any items that you are looking for.
I also wanted to remind everyone that animals are not allowed on school grounds during the school day. This includes arrival and dismissal. Some of our students are afraid of animals, and the behavior of any animal is unpredictable in large crowds of people. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Heather Motzny

5th grade book club will meet on Thursday, March 10 to discuss Matilda. Read it before coming to the library for lunch. We are sure to have some good laughs. (Remember - the audio book is always an option. Kate Winslet does the audio book and is fantastic with her many voices! Give it a go!)

5th to 6th Information
Electives forms for students zoned to Spillane MS will be sent home next Friday, March 4th. Electives forms for students zoned to other Cy-Fair ISD Middle Schools have already been sent home. Students will be selecting a PE course and their top 3 Electives choices. Please read the information below.
There is a new PE course offering for grade 6; Pre-Athletics. Students will be able to choose between regular PE or Pre-Athletics. Pre-Athletics is NOT a prerequisite for taking Athletics in grade 7. Click on the link below to access more information about Pre-Athletics on the District website.

Students get one elective in grade 6 (Band, Choir, Orchestra, Full-year Art, Full-year Theater Arts, Rotation). Full-year Art and Full-year Theater Arts have limited space. Students who choose Full-year Art or Full-year Theater Arts as their 1st choice are highly encouraged to put Rotation as their 2nd choice. Rotation allows students to have a semester of their 1st choice and a semester of choir. It gives the Art or Theater Arts teacher an opportunity to get to know the student and they will be able to take the Advanced class in grade 7.
