Please make sure your child is washing their hands frequently at home. We will be using Chlorox wipes, Germ-X, and washing our hands to try to do our part here at school:)
Just FYI: There have been some nasty viruses going around and Strep throat that is presenting with stomach ache and headache instead of sore throat and fever.
**This is part of our BSIP (Building School Improvement Plan). To get our average above 96% for the year**

Box Tops for Education: End of February is Coming Quick!!
All the money comes right back to our classroom for me to spend on the students.
Each box top you send in is worth 10 cents for us to spend. It doesn't sound like much, but they can really add up. Ask relatives and friends if they have any extra box tops they aren't using. Most people don't mind cutting them out and saving them if you ask:)
