Parents,
Welcome back…again!!!! Hope everyone enjoyed the week with your darling first grader!!! As always, with any time off, I very much enjoyed my “Joey and Drew time” and catching up on laundry!!
Things to note:
- The fieldtrip is this Thursday, April 19th. We will be headed to the high school to see their rendition of “Beauty and the Beast.” Please make sure that you have returned the fieldtrip permission slip, along with the $8.00 fee.
o REMEMBER THAT ALL STUDENTS WILL NEED A COLD LUNCH ON THIS DAY.
- I, unexpectedly, had to leave school early on Friday to take my kiddo to the doctor and thus…never drew volunteer names for our fieldtrip this coming Thursday. I apologize! I am trying to double check volunteer forms in the office and will be writing notes home today if your name was drawn. If I don’t send a note home, unfortunately, your name was not drawn. (I will let you know, however, if things change and I need another volunteer.)
- Yearbooks are now available for pre-order. They are on sale through April 27th. They are $16.00 cash/check (made out to S.S.E.S.) and will be delivered May 21st.
- Our annual Jog-a-thon is coming up on May 17th! Mrs. Bower, our P.E. teacher has asked us to ask you to encourage your first grader to do a little extra running to prepare for our big event. During P.E., they are currently running or run/walking for approximately 9 minutes/1 time per week. If you can, find a way or a reason to have them run at home. I am also going to do the same here at school.
- Please check my blog to see an online copy of our weekly notes while the school’s new website is under construction... mrsjacobs1stgrade.blogspot.com
