January 16th News and Notes

Important Events For Next Week
Monday - NO SCHOOL - MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. HOLIDAY  Please note changes to our weekly schedule below.

Quincy Community Theatre Trip - February 11th
We will be traveling to the Quincy Community Theatre on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 11th to see the Student Theatre Musical "Honk!"  We will be needing a few parent drivers for this event.  Please send me a note or email if you would like to help.  We are limited to two parent helpers per classroom.

Extra Pants/Warm Clothing for Recess
As long as the temperature is above the 20 degree mark, we plan to go outside for recess and get as much fresh air as possible!  Please remember to send your child to school each day with the appropriate coat, hat, gloves, etc...  Also, your child may want to keep an extra pair of pants in their bookbag or in a sack on their hallway hook.  Sometimes with melting snow on the parking lot, accidents happen, and we may need to change into something dry for the afternoon!  Thank you!

Six Flags Read To Succeed Challenge!
Remember....four weeks left to earn a free ticket!

Please Return Cardstock Copy of the Report Card
If you have not done so already, please remember to return the heavier cardstock copy of the report card sent out Monday after reviewing and signing the line for Second Quarter.  You may keep the paper copy and comment sheet for your records.
