April 25

Yay!  We are 3/4 through with the TCAP!!!  It is exhausting taking these tests.  Thank you for all the encouragement you are giving your child.  It goes such a long way!  They are working soooooo hard!  You would be proud to see them in action.  It is amazing  to see them attack this test with such confidence. 

We have been so blessed with snack donations for the week.  A special thanks to those of you who were able to send in class sets of snacks!!!  The students were provided with bottled water for the the first three days of testing, however, this water has run out.  Please send a healthy drink for snack time tomorrow with your child.

Also, we are going to celebrate a job well done this week with a pizza party Friday afternoon.  THIS WILL NOT REPLACE LUNCH, BUT BE IN ADDITION TO.  If you can, please send in $2 to cover the pizza and drinks.  We will also need someone who can order and pick the pizzas up for us that afternoon.  We will also need plate, napkin, and cup donations.  If you have any of these just sitting around at home, we will gladly take these off of your hands.  Please let us know if you can help out in any way.

Please send in field trip money if you have not done so already.  We go to Loftis on Monday (free) and the track meet ($4) on Tuesday (Please wear field trip t-shirt for these events).  Students can bring money for concession snacks if they would like.  They also need to bring/wear sunscreen and a hat.  Please pack a lunch as well!  This year, the track meet organizers have asked each attendee to bring one canned food item to donate to the food bank.  Thank you in advance for helping out in this manner.
