A Moment With Macy......
Can you guess who the celebrity is in his yearbook picture?
YEARBOOK - WHO HAS ORDERED?!
Macy will be sending each classroom a list this week of which students have purchased a yearbook. We thought you would want to have this information in case any parent or student asks. You can also refer them to Macy in case there are other questions. Yearbooks cost $25 and we will be sending home a flyer on how to order.
FEED THE TEACHERS
The route we went in the fall was a hit.... parents & teachers all liked the shift of having a sack lunch delivered to your classroom the two days of conferences rather than a bunch of food in each building. Macy will be sending out a "sign-up genius" form for parents to choose when and whom they would like to feed. Once there is someone signed up for your classroom, Macy will let you know who so you can let them know directly of any dietary restrictions.
Please note, that due to the teachers having a VERY busy schedule these days (and every day, really!), only the classroom teachers will benefit from this. Specialists & Admin... anyone want to organize a pot-luck?! :)
NEWSLETTER ADDITIONS
March's newsletter will be published next Thursday. Please send articles and photos to Macy ASAP - no later than Monday afternoon. Thank you!
