11-8-12 Daily Update

Parents,
A few quick notes today...

A letter went home today about a Personal Safety presentation that students will be listening to in the coming weeks.  Read the letter for more information.

Our Powerhouse theme of the month is Math.  Students will have a Math related message each morning on the announcements from Mr. Rhodes.  Students will also receive a blue slip with a Math challenge problem of the day.  These can be turned in each day and correct answers will be drawn for prizes.  The problems are optional.

Speaking of math...Students have a test tomorrow over data and graphs.  See below for a great way to practice for the test.

Starting November 12 Student Council will be holding a canned food drive.

Reminders:
  • The Scholastic Book Fair is still going on - if you haven't yet, go check it out!
  • Turn in recorder $ or bring one fro home in
  • Bring in Canned good for food drive starting Nov. 12

-Mr. Pransky
