Pajama Day - with School Colors Tomorrow
Students and teachers may wear their pajamas to school tomorrow. And this month, participants can chose to wear our school colors (blue and white) instead of or in addition to their PJs.
Everyone can get in on the fun. Those who chose to may send in a monetary donation to support entertaining and educational events like Literature Night and Field Day. The class with the most donations wins an end of year pizza party.
Top classes so far:
Please remind your children to wear regular shoes (no slippers) and leave their stuffed animals at home. They may be wearing pajamas, but it's still a normal day of school activities.
Box Tops for Education
Thanks to all the Box Tops you turned in, our school received a check in December for $1,104.40! Please keep the Box Tops coming in!
Complete this collection sheet and turn it in by February 19th to be entered into a raffle for a $10 Panera Bread gift card. Be sure to put your student's and teacher's name on the collection sheets.
