Wk 23 Newsletter

Valentine’s Snack & Cards

Our party will be Friday, February 13th at 11:45. A note was sent home last Friday with details as to what we need for the event. Our class will exchange Valentine’s cards with our classmates on Friday. Each student must make a card for everyone.

Important Reminders

• We have P.E. on Monday and Wednesday of this week. Be sure to wear tennis shoes on these days!

• Send in Box Tops and Campbell’s Soup labels. We would love to win the contest again!

• New Pizza Hut Book-It forms are in folders today! February’s goal is to read 10 books.

• We will have ice cream on Friday. Please send $0.50.

• The Six Flag’s Six Hour Club forms are due February 24th. Be sure to write down your books and time spent reading. If you have misplaced your form, you may record titles and time read on a sheet of notebook paper.

Box Top Challenge

We need BOX TOPS! Coach Neal challenged the school to bring in lots of Box Tops so that we can raise money for our playground. This month’s reward is a “movie and popcorn” party. Please send in BOX TOPS by February 28th.
