Little Rockets News!
Dear Families,
This week Wednesday and Thursday will be our Fall Parent Teacher Conferences! We hope to see everyone that signed up for a time from 4:00-8:00 PM on Wednesday or 8:00 AM-8:00 PM on Thursday. Please remember there is NO SCHOOL both Thursday and Friday this week.
Conferences are limited to 15 minutes, unless an alternate time slot was assigned by your child's teacher. We ask that you are on time for conferences and you assist the teacher with keeping on schedule.
During Parent-Teacher Conferences, classrooms will hang a Giving Tree of wish list items outside of their classroom. Please feel free to pick an apple or two, if you are able, and donate item to your child's classroom. Thank you for your support!
Also, please remember to stop in the library for our Book Fair!
If you have any questions for myself or Ms. Calkins, we will be available in the office during conference times.
Thank you!

All Stars Dips
Let’s Think Big!!!!!
Our sale of All Stars Dips kicks off on Monday, October 23rd,
and runs through Monday, November 6th, 2017.
It’s easy….the more dips we sell-the more our school earns.
Each package of yummy dip sells for $6.00. We earn $3.00 for each package sold. Simply mix each flavor packet with sour cream and mayonnaise to make approximately 16 oz. of dip!
Profits from the sale will benefit all students who attend Washington School of Early Learning and A Child’s Imagination.
This is a HUGE opportunity for us as it will help to pay for special events and items for our classrooms.
The Top Seller will receive a gift certificate to Dairy Queen!
* Payment is due when your order is turned by November 6th, 2017.
* Please make all checks payable to Washington PTO.
* The order envelope will be used for delivery of the dips. They
will come home in your child’s backpack, so there is no special
pick up day.
