I hope everyone is enjoying this great weather this weekend!
Relay for Life is having a balloon release on Friday March 23rd. If you would like for your child to participate and have a balloon, they are $2 and this is due tomorrow (Monday). The proceeds will go to Relay for Life.

This Wednesday we will be having Spring Pictures. There was a form sent home last week with tips on how to get ready for picture day!
Report Cards will be sent home on Thursday. Please review these, sign, and return them as soon as you can.
You also received your child's Display My Art project last week. If you would like to order anything with your child's artwork on it, the form and the money is due FRIDAY, March 23rd.
Next week, March 26 - March 30, we will have Spring Break.
Registration for Kindergarten begins April 2nd. If you know anyone who needs to register their child for Kindergarten, please let them know of this date! You may also request 1st Grade teachers for your child next year. You have to come to the school to request!
When we return from Spring Break, we will continue our Easter unit. On Thursday, April 5th, we will be having our Easter Egg Hunt and party. The room mom's will contact you about the party if you signed up to help during Parent Report Night. For the egg hunt, each child needs to provide 17 candy-filled eggs. Please do not use chocolate candy as these eggs will be hidden outside and the chocolate will melt. Please also make sure the candy is individually wrapped. We also ask for each child to send in $1. Teachers will get Easter baskets for each child, and the $1 is used to cover the cost of the basket. Please have your child's eggs and $1 turned in no later than Wednesday, April 4th!
Our last field trip for the year will be Monday, April 30th. We will be going to the Montgomery Zoo. The cost for each child is $13 and the cost for chaperones is $10. You will be getting a letter and field trip form after Spring Break. The money and permission slips are due April 23rd. The cost for children includes admission to the zoo, a train ticket, and a pass to feed the giraffes. The cost or chaperones includes admission to the zoo and a train ticket. Every class needs at least 5 chaperones to be able to go! Please mark this date on your calendar and plan to attend. Again, we will be sending home the letter and permission slip after Spring Break.
The last day for checks (for lunch, field trips, etc) will be April 23rd. After this date the school will no longer accept checks. Please plan accordingly!
I hope you all have a great week!
