Super Second Grade News
"Walk in Faith with Mercy and Grace."
Week of March 14- March 18, 2016
I hope you all had a nice and relaxing weekend! I am sending home information on Flat Stanley/Flat Stella this week. Please have your child decide where they would like to send their Stanley/Stella by Wednesday March 16. If you are going on vacation over spring break, please just write the place where you will be taking Stanley/Stella. More information and items will be sent home at the end of this week.
There is also a mandatory parent meeting Tuesday March 15 at 7pm.
St. Patrick's Day is this Thursday and as a little way to celebrate, I would like it if each child brought in a green food item to share with the class. Examples: celery, grapes, green tortilla chips, mint oreos, etc. Feel free to bring in an Irish food item to the class, if that is more fun for you! The students may also wear a green shirt and accessories with uniform bottoms to school that day.
Please make sure to read the Newsletter each week to see whats the latest news.
Our weekly newsletter will be sent via email as a more effective way to communicate with you. If you would like a hard copy sent home, please let me know and I will be happy to send that home on Monday's.
