Manners Banquet- APRIL 6th
We have a very special event coming up on Wednesday, April 6. 5th GRADE MANNERS BANQUET- students receive an etiquette lesson and then dress up in their best and get a fancy meal in a transformed cafeteria. The students love this opportunity and will cherish these memories but we need your help. We need servers and help with set up and take down. Set up will start about 10:00 and the luncheon is scheduled from 11:30-1:00 and take down follows immediately after. All servers will need to dress in a white shirt with black pants or skirt. Please consider helping to make this event special whether you have a 5th grade student or one in the younger grades. SIGN UP HERE!

Behavior
Their goal is to earn a minimum of 8 out of 10 points each week AND a total of 80% of points by the end of the 3-week period, which is Tuesday, February 22nd-Friday, March 11th.
We will continue this tracking system after Spring Break with a different goal students are working towards. We'll keep you updated as that approaches.
Let's work together as a team and encourage our kiddos to be Panda Proud at school to earn a spot as a Super Kids Day Helper!
Thanks for your support!
