Dress Warm Tomorrow Please! No Shorts!!

Greetings Future 5th grade parents! I hope to see you at the Fundraiser Spaghetti Dinner tonight at Burlington on Lewis Ave at 5:30ish. Thank you to all of those that sent in a donation! I am so proud of this class and their parents. Amazing support ALWAYS!!! Tonight is also Chuckie Cheese Night until 9. Kids came home with a free token sticker on their shirts. Fun!

Pictures are due tomorrow for the Mother's Day Slideshow. Students need their baby picture, a current picture, and a picture of mom. Any picture will do the trick. I will be making the slide show this weekend so last day is tomorrow!!

Mom's don't forget to mark your calendars for May 6th at 1:45 for the Mother's Day Tea. Permission slips and RSVPs are also due tomorrow.

Students are scheduled to run the 800 meter dash tomorrow in PE. They may bring their I-pods or other musical devises for that event only. Tennis shoes and loose clothing are a must! WARM!!

Thanks! Have a super fun night in the rain!!!

Reminders

Just a reminder for the Spaghetti Dinner tomorrow at Burlington Elementary starting at 5:30. Your attendance earns your child $1000.00. Donations also accepted and will be rewarded.

Also, try to remember to find those pictures. Students need a baby and modern picture of themselves and then one of their mom. Permission slips and attendance RSVP invitations came home tonight for the Mother's Day Tea. Please return them by Friday.

Midterms come home this Friday. Attached to them will also be their NWEA test scores. You will see their score at the beginning of 4th grade and their score now. Many students scored in the Advanced level which is above grade level. WOW!!! We did AWESOME as a class, and I am so proud of each and everyone of my students.

Have a great night!

Save Your Money!! Spend your money!! All for Fun!

As the year is coming closer to ending, here are a few things I told the students they need to keep in mind.

Gator Party with Burlington Buddies: $1000.00
Pompey's Pillar Field Trip: $1000.00
Fossil Dig Field Trip: $1000.00
Field Day: $500.00
End of the Year Picnic in the Park: $500.00
Wiffle Ball Tournament: $300.00
Miracle Movie, Popcorn and Drink: $300.00

In order for students to participate in these events they will need to buy into it with their fake money. Students that do not have enough money saved by the time of the event will not attend. Almost all students have more money than they need. Is your child one of them?

Need more money? Students are invited to a spaghetti dinner at Burlington Elementary this Thursday at 5:30. It is a fundraiser ($5.00 each or $25.00 per family) for a family that attends their school and the public is invited. My family is attending as is our Burlington Buddy teacher, Mrs. Brucker. Some of her classmates will be there as well. Students that attend will be rewarded with $1000.00. If you are unable to attend students agreed today that they could just make a donation as if they were there and I will still reward them the $1000.00. It is good to help others.

Pictures of Career Day and our Volunteer Opportunity last weekend will be posted later tonight! Both events were awesome! Thanks for all of your support!

Thank you to all of you that have given me your sport's schedules. I LOVE going to games and watching students play. I will let you know though, I DO NOT go to games that are in the rain or in cold weather. I am a weather wimp! So even if I say I am going to come if that weather is happening know that I will NOT show up! :0) Thanks for including me in your life outside school!!
