Weekly Update: 3/2-3/6

pee-YOU! 'Tis the season for stinky snowgear! If you were lucky enough to walk the hallways on Friday afternoon, you would have noticed the wonderful aroma of sweat, melting snow, and mud linger in the hallways. If you are able, please take some time to wash those snow pants that have been undoubtedly crumpled up at the bottom of a locker for some time. 😂

FIELD TRIP PERMISSION: Thank you to those of you that have already sent in the payments for our upcoming field trips! In your child's Friday Folder, you will find the district permission form for the 3 trips this spring. Please sign and return at your earliest convenience!

FRIDAY FOLDERS: We are in dire need of Friday Folder volunteers! This year, we have had several slots open. Friday Folder helpers are people that come in any time on Friday to fill each child's mailbox with student work and information from the office. Then, they stuff each child's folder with the papers so they can be sent home at the end of the day. It takes roughly 20-30 minutes and you are able to come at whatever time is most convenient for you. I would appreciate any help you may be able to provide so I can spend my prep hour on Friday planning for the week ahead! If you are able to sign up for a slot, please click HERE!
