3-21-13 Daily Update

Parents,

Another 100% homework turn in day!  Awesome! 

End of quarter.  Tomorrow is the last day of 3rd quarter and will be the last chance for your child to earn AR points toward their goal.

Spirit Day.  Wear BLUE tomorrow!

International food fest.  Just another reminder to be sensible about items brought in for the food fest tomorrow.  They need to be individually prepared so that they can be passed out quickly and easily after lunch tomorrow in the classroom.  Please respect the fact that I do not have access to normal kitchen supplies like napkins, forks, knives, plates, etc...

1k/5K Run/Walk.  I had a lot of students tell me they were planning on beating me in the 5K Powerhouse run on April 13th.  My response was to that was, "go for it."  I'm not fast, but I know I'll beat everyone who's not entered!  So far  I haven't seen many entry forms submitted.  This could be a great incentive to get your child outside and exercising something other than their thumbs.  ;0)
