Monday Reminders

Hi All! I haven't been posting on here lately because I didn't think anyone followed this blog since I moved down to the wonderful land of primary....but just in case, I have lots of important info to share, so I am going to post it anyway! By the way, if you find this information helpful, please let me know!
This week is Red Ribbon Week (aka Drug Awareness Week). Each day we have a special theme. Today was Be a "Jeanius," Be Drug Free and we all wore jeans! Red ribbons were handed out and students were asked to keep up with these all week.
Tomorrow's theme is Living Drug-Free is No Sweat! This means we can wear SWEATS to school! This would be especially awesome if it wasn't supposed to be unseasonably warm tomorrow. Go figure. :)
Wednesday will be sneakers, Thursday is team jerseys, and Friday is whatever you feel represents the "best you!" I will try to post a reminder each day...you should have gotten a form about this last week. You also would have gotten this on the back of our newsletter today IF I had not forgotten to hand it out! YIKES! Sorry!! It is written and copied on colored paper but still sitting on my table.....so, I guess I will send it home tomorrow.
Other important information in there is that we need items for our Scrapbooking Theme Basket to auction off at the PTO Auction/Dinner on November 9th. Whatever you can contribute will be helpful to our school!
Report cards came home Friday. A few students signed and returned those today. If you still have your child's, please sign and return that as soon as possible.
Our field trip to the high school to see Charlotte's Web is coming up on November 8th. If you haven't sent in permission slip and/or money, please do that as soon as possible also.
Our fourth grade will be conducting a school-wide mock election and will begin campaigning for our presidential candidates next week. Our students will begin learning about the election and presidents this week as well. They learned earlier this year that voting is both a right and a responsibility of good citizens. Please remember to exercise this right on November 6th and take your child with you so they can see you participating in our country's democracy, whatever your political preferences may be.
Parent Teacher Conferences will be THIS THURSDAY from 3:30-6:30. Please call Mrs. Clark at the school (502) 570-8800 to schedule a time if you would like to meet with me to discuss your child's progress.
This week's Reading stories:
2nd grade: Pearl and Wagner
3rd grade: William's House

Have a great night!!
