I won't be here the next two Fridays (2/25 or 3/4). I will send their spelling packets and weekly notes home on the following Monday. Thanks

Please remember that our Library day is on Fridays. There are a lot of students that haven't been bringing their books back, and haven't been able to get a new one.

Don't forget to read each night for 20 minutes. Each month needs to have a total of 400 minutes. Students also need to keep reading each night regardless of when in the month the goal is met.

There are still students coming to school not dressed appropriately for the weather. PLEASE send your child with a COAT. Mr. Whittier likes for the students to be outside for recess if at all possible, even when it is cold outside. They need the break with the fresh air and sunshine! It helps them be ready to learn. If they are cold because they don't have a coat, they are miserable.

SUU's Elementary Block students will be visiting us next week. They will be taking over some of the teaching, so if you child talks about a new teacher you will know why. It should be a great week!

The PTA is making one last push to sell yearbooks. I have a list of those students who have purchased a yearbook, and have sent home a note to those who haven't. Call the school (586-2860) if you have any questions.
