After School Library Funds
As mentioned last Wednesday, we have received $6000 for after school library programming. I have received some more clarity from Dr. Mucetti and Ms. Roxanne Ansolbahere regarding the usage of the funds. We do need to utilize the funds after school in the library. The library will be getting an update with all kinds of exciting stations/activities for students to do, such as a Maker's Space and virtual reality. While the Maker's Space site is not exactly what we may be getting in our library, it gives you the general idea of Maker's Spaces.
Obstacle-A-Thon
Please continue to promote the Obstacle-A-Thon with your students. Remind them it is not safe to go door to door asking for donations. They should instead call family and friends to ask for donations or their parents could take the information to their workplaces. Here is the link to the Google slide that Ms. Ann created. The teacher whose class raises the most money in the school, will win my parking spot for a week, in addition to whatever other prizes the PTA is giving out.
Two Recess Sessions
I researched Wilson's bell schedule since they are a comparable size to Jefferson.
They do have two different morning recess times and they do not affect the prep schedule.
This is their schedule:
- 9:50-10:05 Recess for 1st-3rd Grade
- 10:05-10:20 Recess for 4th and 5th Grade
I would actually propose the following so all 1st-3rd graders are cleared off the yard before the 4th and 5th graders come out.
- 9:50-10:05 Recess for 1st-3rd Grade
- 10:15-10:30 Recess for 4th and 5th Grade
Please vote on the proposed schedule on this form.
Halloween Parade Survey Results
Based on the survey results, the Halloween Parade will be at 8:15 on Tuesday, October 31. Also, since we are so close to SL, their marching band will be leading the parade this year. This should be an exciting event for everyone.
We also still need suggestions for the costume theme for staff this year. Suggestions can be given on this form until Sept. 29 and then top choices will be presented to staff.
