Dear Parents,

It might seem like Danielle has been our student leader for several different tries, but in reality she has served different times during short weeks. She is a great leader and "secretary" for me, so it is tempting to get her over and over...however, I also want to get all students to have at least one turn before the end of the year. Please encourage your student to do their part (as discussed during SEP) so that they will earn the right to be a student example and leader.

Parent Spelling Letter # 22 is due on Thursday along with the Spelling Poem they are composing with a spelling list sent home today (attached).

Also attached is a yellow reminder about how to help with the Jump A Thon and get the students to go Online to register and help them get donation. They must have at least $5.00 donated by Wednesday to qualify for participation in the Jump A Thon (see Fantastic Falcon and ways to win prizes) If they have donated at least $5.00 by Wednesday, they will be invited to the Jump A Thon activity in the gym. We hope that you will help with this fund raiser.

Thank you ever so much for all the students and parents that attended SEP last week. I will need to have you return any SEP goals that have been agreed on and signed by parents. I also hope that you enjoyed reading your students Language Test writings and their portfolio work. I also encourage the students to do their Extra Credit Packets and hope that parents will check it over before turning in. If there are still mistakes on Second Term work, it will be the last time I will look at them. Please make sure they are correct.

I will also need to have all Wax Museum forms to prove your child will be starting to get their reports done. The Wax Museum Book Report is due on Friday, March 25 at 10:00 until 10:45. Parents are invited. Please reschedule if you were not able to attend SEP conferences. This conference will give your child a huge advantage during last term. Thank you.

March 17...wear green.

Study spelling list because if your child doesn't know their word, they might not have good luck on Thursday and get pinched for misspelling a word. (Hint, hint)
