Reading Month

On Thursday we are have our Reading month celebration. The students are excited because it is pajama day. Please have them wear appropriate clothing for the weather and be aware that they still have outside recess, so dress them warm.

We have a short assembly after lunch to award some prizes for meeting some reading goals. We will then watch a movie. Students have had stuffed animals in all month. They can watch the movie with them. Then take them home (than I can get my room back) he he.

An idea for a snack during the movie is a "trail mix" If your child can bring in a sandwich baggie of some type of snack to be mixed together. ie cereal, raisins, marshmallows, cheeze its, etc. Try to avoid nuts because of food allergies.

Expect report cards to come home on Thursday.

On Wednesday we are having an 8th Grade Buddy good bye party. It is the last day with this group of 8th graders. After spring break will we have a new group to read with.

Thanks for your support and have a great week with your family.

Book Fair

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Dear Parents (and Grandparents),

The PTO is looking for volunteers to help with the upcoming Book Fair.

We are seeking volunteers to help students browse and purchase books on March 21^st, 22^nd, 25^th, 26^th, 27^th, and 28^th from 11:30am-3:00pm. The Book Fair will be set-up in the Library and students will come down with their entire class - - so the more volunteers we have to help, the smoother it will go. If you’d be willing to help out for an afternoon (or partial afternoon) please let us know.

We are also extending our hours on Thursday March 21^st & Thursday March 28^th from 3:00-6:00so that families & community members can browse and shop. We are looking for volunteers to run the fair during these extended hours as well.

If you would be willing to help out with the Book Fair, please contact Sherry Brinks at sherrybrinks@gmail.com (825-2021/884-9566) or LeighAnn Sikkema at lasikkema@mcbain.org(825-8041).

Thanks for supporting your PTO.
