Happy New Year!

I just received an e-mail from Mr. Smith and he has directed the elementary teachers to have our Christmas party on Friday, January 4, 2013. The parties will start after lunch. I know the students hated having to miss school on Thursday. This is just a good lesson in patience. We will still do a gift exchange game. So boys bring a gift labeled "boy" and girls bring a gift labeled "girl." The food list is still on my blog.

Box top update: I'm so impressed with how many box top and Campbell points we turned in. We were asking neighbors, relatives, high school teachers with out kids in the elementary, para-pros, librarians, etc. We raised an amazing 8000 + labels. The only problem is that was 90 labels short of first place. I can't believe it.... second place again! The good news for the students is that the PTO is still awarding a pizza party for second place because of the massive amounts of labels turned in. So good job class. Thank you parents for putting up with my campaigning for these labels. Just remember there is a second semester competition too. So keep them coming in.

Have a safe and happy New Year.

Mr. Fredin

Christmas Party

Box Tops.  We are so close but so far away.  We’ve invested so much we can’t turn back now.  We have 3750 box tops but that is 1061 behind 1^st place.   We are in 5^th place.  Wow! McBain parents have stepped up.  We have one week to go, let’s see what we can bring in.  Every 20 box tops puts your child’s name into the drawing for gift cards.  If we won our class would get a pizza party and 10,000 point to spend in the Campbell’s catalog for great things for the class.  I know there are grandparents and aunts and uncles that you could ask.  Please, please, please.

8^th Grade Buddies is a chance for us to read with an older student.  A note went home yesterday.

Progress reports are coming home today.  Please look for them.
