January 4th News and Notes

Book It! for January
If your child wants to participate in Pizza Hut Book It! this month, please have completed forms back to school by Thursday, January 31st.  These can be found in the Friday Communication Folder.  These books can also be used for the Six Flags program, which will be due in February!

Second Quarter Report Cards
Report cards for Second Quarter will be coming home in Monday's Communication Folder.  Please review, sign the back, and return by Friday, January 11th.

Thank You Very Much!
I really appreciate and will totally enjoy spending the Kohl's Gift Card that the class presented me for Christmas!  Thank you so much for thinking of me!

Extra Pants
Next week it will likely be getting warm enough for us to play on the blacktop/parking lot.  However, melting snow may cause it to be a little wet and slippery.  Please send along an extra pair of pants for your child to keep in a sack on their hook in case we have a fall that results in wet bottoms!  Also, please be mindful of the shoes that they wear in case the surface is a bit wet.   Fresh air = good!
Wet pants and slick shoes = bad!  Thanks!
