We are nearly half-way through winter and your PTA is working to offer warm-and-toasty indoor activities that help to keep you in touch with the school!

 

But first, a reminder... there are two teacher workdays coming our way! So, there is no school for the kids tomorrow, Friday 1/29, nor Monday 2/1.

 

But to make up for that, there is plenty to do at the end of the week!

Bingo Night is on Friday, February 5th from 6 - 8:30 pm! You don't want to miss this great winter PTA event.

 

"B" is for basket... prize baskets that is! Send a new, theme-related item into school before February 3rd.

 

The themes are:

 

Kindergarten - Family Fun

1st Grade - Arts and Crafts

2nd Grade - Sports

3rd Grade - Board Games

4th Grade - Kitchen Fun

5th Grade - Movie Night

6th Grade - Harry Potter

 

"B" is for baking! The more we have the more people will enjoy. Please offer to share your talents by sending in some great home made goodies for the hungry Bingo players.

 

"B" is for "Be there!" You might not be able to contribute to the prizes or the snack stand but you can share in the fun! This is a family event... the more the merrier!

Thanks to everyone who clipped those BoxTops and sent them in!

 

Miss Matthews' class won the K-3 contest with 81% of the class participating in the collection. Aimee Minto, on behalf of the PTA, will give the kids a cookie cake party next week!

Miss Dodd's class won the grades 4-6 award with 14% of the class participating. They had a cupcake party last week for their prize. 

 

Keep clipping! There will be another winter collection starting next month.

The school will be hosting its annual Science Fair on Thursday, February 25th. What a wonderful winter event. The kids have a great opportunity to keep themselves busy on these cold afternoons by planning, executing and reporting on their own science experiment!

 

The lower level students typically work on a class project together, but the older kids are encouraged to present their own project.

 

Review the materials the school sent home last Tuesday and talk to your child's teacher if you need to. 

 

Yesterday, two first graders were playing "Rock Scientists", they were collecting rocks, smashing them open then cleaning them off with fine paint brushes. All they need to do now is write about their observations. Clearly they have caught the science fair bug!
