MYSTERY READERS: We are in need of some more mystery readers! Please visit THIS LINK to sign up!
FIELD TRIP PERMISSIONS: This spring, first graders will be taking many exciting field trips. If you haven't already, please return the yellow permission sheet with $14.50 to cover the cost of admissions and transportation. Thank you so much!
READ ACROSS AMERICA: In the month of March, students at Somerset will be celebrating a love of reading. Read Across America is a nation-wide initiative to track and celebrate reading progress in honor of one of the most popular and prolific children's book authors, Dr. Seuss! Reading slips were sent in Friday Folders this week and our first drawing will be on March 9th. See the dates below for spirit week information, too! Special note: Because of the Read Across America reading slips, we will have no Star Chart for the month of March. Less is more, right?!
TOYS AT SCHOOL: Please discourage your child from bringing toys to school. While students are welcome to bring a toy during on their designated sharing time, they are expected to put it away immediately in their lockers for the remainder of the day. I'm talking about you, BeyBlades! ;-)

The auction will be held at Dodge from 6:30-10:00 p.m. on Friday, March 9th. P.S. Be on the lookout for a kid's party hosted by Somerset's first grade teachers!
