Donuts for Dads and Shade out Drugs

Think First Safety Program

We had fun learning about Safety rules from Billings Clinic. Drew and Jason seat-belted an egg in a Barbie car to demonstrate how important seatbelts are! The second session was a review and then Jason put a cantaloupe in a bike helmet to show us what happens when you do and don't wear bike helmets.

MYSTERY READER

Another fun day with the Mystery Reader Mrs. Curry. She shared a Halloween book and the Bedhead book. We enjoyed cookies for Cole's birthday as well!

Volunteer Needed

Each classroom is seeking a parent that will be in charge of the classroom Box Tops for Education. The parent would collect, cut, count, and bundle the Box Tops collected in our classroom. Please let me know if you are interested in being our third grade volunteer.

Silly Bands

The Silly Band bracelets and rings have become a growing problem/distraction in the classroom. Kids are playing with them, trading/exchanging them during working time and recess. I would appreciate you checking for them prior to your student leaving home in the morning and ask that they remain at home during the school day. Thank you!

Open House Donations

Thank you! Thank you! The posted/donated items for our classroom are coming in from Open House and I so appreciate your generosity!
