Six Flags Theme Parks are sponsoring the Read to Succeed Six-Hour Reading Club program. The registration form and parent letter that provides more details about the program was sent home before break. The reading log is due on Feb. 8th. They cannot be turned in late. If you have any questions please contact Mrs. May.
Also remember to have your student log in his/her minutes for reading. They need to go to Reading Stars on the May Watts website. The students get different awards for reading the amount of minutes they are suppose to read.
If you are doing the Young Author's Program, the student's final manuscripts are due on Wednesday, February 27th.
Box Tops for Education: Thank you for taking the time to clip and submit Box Tops. A total of 8,987 Box Tops have been collected already this year. The money we get for the Box Tops goes directly back to the school. Please continue to save Box Tops and send them with your child to school.
May Watts Science Fair is on February 7th. Last year was the first year May Watts had a science fair. It was a successful night, and we are doing it again. The STEM parents will be coordinating this event. Start thinking now about a project and watch your emails for updates on getting started. We also need volunteers to help students set up from 6:00 - 6:30 the night of the fair. If you can help, please contact Parul at parul_dhawan@yahoo.com. Information and forms are available on the Watts PTA Website.
Volunteers Needed: The PTA is looking for a volunteer to coordinate the school supply kits. The position requires working with a supply company and placing the orders in the early spring. This work can be done at home. In August, you will coordinate the distribution before Meet and Greet. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please contact Gretchen Pastore at gpastore@wowway.com.
Have a great week, and I will see you on Wednesday!
