Hi Parents!
Important Information
Random Acts of Kindness:
Small acts of kindness pave the way for a strong sense of compassion and empathy! We have been discussing ways to show random acts of kindness at school and at home.
We are attaching a Random Acts of Kindness Calendar today so you can participate with your child at home!
PACE Referral Packets:
PACE Referral Packets are due by next Wednesday, December 7th. If you are interested in referring your child for PACE, you can visit this website http://www.pisd.edu/parents/advanced.academics/gifted.pace/index.shtml or fill out the packet attached to our newsletter.
Holiday Items:
1 can of white icing, 1 piece of 10''x12'' cardboard covered in foil, and the circled item on the blue paper Holiday Party letter are all due next Friday, December 9th.
Career Dress-Up Activity:
We will be sending home a paper doll with your child today. Please have your child dress up the doll as your child's future dream career. The completed paper doll can be returned to school anytime between now and Wednesday, January 4th. We will use these to decorate our hallway in January for College Week!
Colder Weather:
Please make sure your child has a jacket for the colder weather. We will go outside for recess if it is 40 degrees and above. Please label all jackets with your child's name.
