Dear Parents,

What a wonderful day with our County Fair, well behaved kids, and our first County Report was a terrific example to the rest of the class. we will hear the rest of them next week. Thank you to our parent volunteers:
Conner's Mom
Ronaldo's Mom
London's Mom
Courtnie's Mom
Jason's Mom
Thanks to all that donated soda pops. We had a perfect amount.

Tysten is a very nice young man. I enjoy working with him. His poster was great. He did a great job popping Bailee's balloon for her game and answering the questions from her report.

We have set a goal to try to catch up with Brayden on the amount of jumping jacks we can do. I could only do 80 in one minute. Brayden could do 92 for a class record. Most of the class was below 80. We are asking everyone to practice at home and during recess and once a week, we will test off and hopefully we will have a few more join the ranks of being a Gold Metal Student. Parents, give it a try. We are expected to do 100 in one minute.

Now that county reports are completed...please start looking at the PTA reflection Project that is due the end of the month. Students can register in and let me know the plan they are doing and if they don't have something in the making, by October 25, I will get them started on an essay titled..."Together We Can". Together we will achieve the goal of every student entering into the PTA Reflections. Let me know if you need another copy of the consent form that must be signed by parent. It is on the back of the packet that was sent home two weeks ago.

Recorders are here! Yippee!! We are engraving names on each one that was purchased. If you ordered one and haven't paid yet, we have it, but we will wait to engrave and give to the student when monies are received. I have two students that ordered but have not paid yet.

Spelling Parent letter was given to your student today. Check out spelling list below to review with your students.
