News and Information
2nd Grade Spelling Bee
Wax Museum Is Coming Up Soon!
April 20th is the date of the wax museum. Please start working on your child’s costume. I need the costumes at school no later than Thursday, April 12. Please don’t spend lots of money on the costume. It is nice to shop at Goodwill and other thrift shops to find pieces that will make the costume special. Just get as close as you can to the look and time period of the character and be creative!
I don’t have a fun website or activity to share this week, just a reminder that as baseball, soccer and softball begin, please try to keep homework, and school in general, as a priority. Lately I have heard “I couldn’t do my homework, I had practice” several times lately. I know that practices and games change the “normal” schedule at home and sometimes are late in the evenings, but please try to make sure homework is done before those activities. Many students even do their homework on the bus ride home so that it is finished before their activities. That is a great strategy and shows great responsibility on the part of the child.
Winter Coats Needed- please continue to send a winter coat with your child. Morning recess is still quite chilly and we want everyone to be dressed safely for the temperature.
If you’d like to sit with your child at lunch we’d love to have you. Lunch begins at 11:47 a.m. If you wish to eat the school lunch, please call the office to order a tray.
