Penny Drive - April 16-20
It's time to bring in those pennies you have been saving throughout the year. April 16-20 is our Penny Drive. Each classroom strives to be THE class with the most pennies. Everyone also has the chance to put silver coins and dollar bills in other classrooms. The total of silver coins and dollars goes against the value of the pennies collected. Every day the pennies are counted and any silver coins or dollar bills subtracted from each classroom's total. On morning announcements the classrooms in first through sixth place are announced. It's a great time of fun competition. The younger students learn their way to other classrooms and meet those teachers. It's also a fun way for them to learn the value of each coin. |
Spirit Week - April 16-20
Students and staff alike look forward to participating in spirit week each year. Here are the spirit themes for this year: Monday: Hawaiian Tuesday: Tacky Tourist Wednesday: Career Thursday: Western Friday: Famous Couples |
It's BBQ Time!
Join your child at lunch time for the second school-wide BBQ of the year on Friday, April 13. Adult price for BBQ is $3.50 and non-student child price is $3.25.
