A Note from Mrs. Tallent
This week we kicked off our Boosterthon and so far we have raised $23,000!!! We loved seeing students wearing their PJs this week and earning their classroom rewards! Thank you for every share and donation you all have contributed to our fundraiser! We appreciate everyone's support as we work to upgrade our projectors to interactive smart boards. If you haven't registered your student on mybooster.com yet, this weekend is the perfect time to do it! This weekend, every student who gets a new $2 lap pledge or a $60 flat donation will get a special prize! Every share and donation adds up to make a BIG difference for our school!
Each day our students have been participating in our Boosterthon Character Huddles where they are learning about character traits through kids who play sports all over the world. You should be receiving a daily email from your child's teacher sharing the character trait for the day. I urge you to have conversations with your students about the character trait they learned about (ex. courage, confidence) and how they could apply that trait in different areas of their lives. It is powerful when we can help students make connections and when we as the adults share how we apply those character traits to our own lives.
We look forward to our Cardinal Fun Run on Wednesday! Please see the details below and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! Thanks!

Boosterthon Schedule and Details
Sept. 8th- Sept. 14th- Boosterthon Daily Huddles
Each day grade levels will go out to the pavilion at the beginning of their specials times to participate in a character education lesson with our Boosterthon team!
Sept. 15th- Boosterthon Fun Run
Parents will be allowed to come watch, but will be asked walk to the side of the school by the portables. We will have all parents enter and exit through the gate near the portables (Please see picture below). You will be able to social distance on the inside or outside of the track. Our Book Fair will be set up under the pavilion so parents can shop with their students prior to students going back inside to their classrooms. Parents wishing to check their students out will sign them out with their child's teacher and will exit with their child from the gate by the pavilion.
Fun Run Times:
- Kindergarten and First Grade will be from 8:30-9:15
- Second Grade and Fourth Grade will be from 9:30-10:15
- Third Grade and Fifth Grade will be from 10:30-11:15
Rainy Day Dismissal
We have lots of rain coming our way this week, so we may have some Rainy Day Dismissals in our future this week. If you are coming through our car rider line, please make sure that you are making two lines just like we do on regular dismissal days. We have to double stack throughout the parking lot or it makes the traffic back up too much on Mesa.
We will continue to call Humble ISD Police and Sheriff's Office to see if they have someone available to help with the traffic at the four way stop. In order to help elevate some of the traffic we are asking parents to car pool on these days if possible. You can fill out our Car Pool Google Form and we will assign all the families in your car pool to one dismissal number and send home a new tag to use on days you are car pooling.
