Parents,

Friday was the Whitehouse Primary Birthday Bash.  Thank you to all of the families who volunteered or came to support our school and have some fun!

Many students do not have art shirts.  An old t-shirt of mom's or dad's will usually fit the bill for this.  Please send these in before Art class this Friday.

Next Thursday is the 4th grade music program.  It will be held at 9:30 AM and 7:00 PM in the gymnasium.

Congratulations to these students who have mastered 1st quarter math facts!  Only 2 weeks left to master both addition and subtraction for anyone not listed below!  Please practice these at home with your child.

Reminders:

• The Great Fire Escape is this Wednesday at 7:00.  Students watched an assembly today to learn how to prepare for a fire.  A fire escape plan for this will go home tomorrow.

Parents,

We had a nice time at Providence Metropark today learning about the Miami-Erie Canal and the Isaac Ludwig Mill.  Thank you to all of the moms who joined us as chaperones for the day.  If any parents captured any great moments with pictures, please feel free to send them to me.

We are planning to take a picture of all of the students in the shape of an "80" tomorrow.  We are hoping to have students wear blue to make this stand out more.

Reminders:

• Last chance to send in any donations for "Backyard BBQ" theme for basket raffle in tomorrow.  
• The Whitehouse Primary Birthday Bash is Friday, October 5 from 5-9 PM.  As I understand it, this is going to be a carnival-like event at school with lots of fun activities (laser tag, bounce houses, games etc...).  It should be a great time!

Parents,

A flyer went home today about pre-sales of tickets for the Birthday bash on Friday.

Don't forget to have your child bring a packed lunch tomorrow for our field trip.  Please help your child dress appropriately for the weather tomorrow.  It is supposed to be chance of showers and 60's most of the day.

Chaperones-

You are welcome to follow the buses at 9:30 or meet us at the park around 9:45 or so.  You will need to purchase your tickets for the canal at the ticket booth across the bridge from the parking area when you arrive.  I think they are $6.  We will be traveling as a group throughout the day, but there will be times when I may need a parent to take a group to the restroom our through a part of the mill.

Reminders:

• Last chance to send in any donations for "Backyard BBQ" theme for basket raffle in tomorrow.  
• Tomorrow is the trip to the Canal and Mill at Providence Metropark.  Remember to pack a lunch as we will eat at the park.  Students can earn extra credit in Social Studies if they dress in any kind of "Pioneer"-style clothing.  (Think: flannel shirts, jeans, rope belts, suspenders, floppy hats, bandanas, dresses, bonnets, etc...).  This really adds to the fun of the experience as we imagine living in the 1800's.
• The Whitehouse Primary Birthday Bash is Friday, October 5 from 5-9 PM.  As I understand it, his is going to be a carnival-like event at school with lots of fun activities (laser tag, bounce houses, games etc...).  It should be a great time!
• Sign and return midterm by Tuesday. (Still needed from Logan and Alex)

Parents,

A flyer went home today about the Parents Club needing volunteers for the Birthday Bash on Friday.  Help us make this event a big success!

Some students received their 3rd grade OAA results today.  These came out over the summer and were supposed to be picked up at the Central Administration Office.  If you didn't receive this flyer today, then you must have already collected them. :o)

Reminders:

• Last chance to send in any donations for "Backyard BBQ" theme for basket raffle.  We have a cooking pot, some utensils, spices, and BBQ sauce so far. 
• Wednesday Oct. 3rd is the trip to the Canal and Mill at Providence Metropark.  Remember to pack a lunch as we will eat at the park.  Students can earn extra credit in Social Studies if they dress in any kind of "Pioneer"-style clothing.  (Think: flannel shirts, jeans, rope belts, suspenders, floppy hats, bandanas, dresses, bonnets, etc...).  This really adds to the fun of the experience as we imagine living in the 1800's.

• Sign and return midterm by Tuesday. (Still needed from Logan, Alex, and Quinn)
