Dear Families,
March Madness is upon us! March is an extremely busy month
and our calendars start to fill up with sports, concerts, and evening
activities. I wanted to inform families about some upcoming events in March so that
you can put these dates on your calendar and take a look ahead at the month.
Next week at the school we are going to be celebrating Dr. Seuss’s
birthday by doing a different fun school activity each day. We are calling it Read
Across America Spirit Week. All the
special things were sent home last week. Please do not go out and buy anything
to participate. These days are supposed to be fun for the students and the
staff as well. Each day we will feature
a different book.
Below is a reminder of the days.
Monday:
Cat in the Hat day. Wear your own hat!
Tuesday:
Fox in Socks day. Wear your crazy socks!
Wednesday:
Wacky Wednesday day. Wear mismatched clothes!
Thursday: Oh, the Places You’ll Go
Day. Come dressed like what you want to be when you grow up!
Friday:
The Lorax Day. Wear a mustache! (We will
make these in school if you need one)
Upcoming Dates
·
March 4th grades close for the term.
If students have had more than 10 absences since the beginning of the school year
or tardies a letter will be included in your child’s report card. If you have any questions, please feel free to
give me a call. Also, on the 4th
is an early release day. NO lunches will be served and students will be dismissed
at 12:00. As always if there is a change in transportation for that day we need
that in writing by Friday. Just a reminder that we cannot change transportation
to add students to a bus that is not their current bus due to the numbers and
safety concerns.
