December 1, 2012
We are rapidly approaching the end of 2012 and 2013 will be here before we know it. In the meantime, there is lots of learning and fun coming up in the next three weeks! Be sure to check the school calendar, the PTA newsletter, Scoops, and your child’s classroom blog to stay current on what’s going on.
Two things I specifically want to mention are Math Night and our Watch D.O.G.S program. Math Night is a fun event for students and families that focuses on math games and real life math applications. Math Night this year will be held on Wednesday, December 12 at 5:45 – 7:00. There will be food, prizes and lots of fun activities, so please plan to join us. If you haven’t already sent in your RSVP, please do so as soon as possible so we can be expecting you.
Our parent involvement program for dads and other father figures, Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) is in full swing now. Since the program began in late October, we have had a dad volunteer almost every day. Students are so proud when they see their dad, uncle or grandpa helping out in classrooms, keeping everyone safe in the hallways or doing lunch and playground duty. Our dads also have their pictures taken with their child, so check out our “Heroes of the Hallway” bulletin board just outside the Media Center. We encourage every one of our dads or other father figures to sign up to be a Watch D.O.G. for a day this school year. Just call the office to sign up!
The last day of school is Friday, December 21. It is a full day of school. If I don’t get the opportunity to speak with you between now and then, please know that I wish you and your entire family a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year!
