Thank you to the parents who came in to help us with our rainforest party. Thank you to Mrs. Hartley, Mrs. Mack, Mrs. Bernhardt, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Tomassini for taking time out of their day to come and help. The students had a lot of fun.

Fun Fair Silent Auction: The PTA is asking for support from businesses within our own student body and families for the silent auction at our Fun Fair.  The Fun Fair is on March 16th this year.  Any donation would be greatly appreciated.  Do you have a vacation home?  Do you have season tickets?  Do you own a restaurant?  Do you sell beauty or health services?  If you can help or have any questions, please contact Gretchen Pastore at gpastore@wowway.com or Brook Barker at brrok_barker @hotmail.com.  Please contact them by February 20th.

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.

Box Tops for Education: Thank you for taking the time to clip and submit Box Tops.  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.

Have a great week!
