Booklets

Booklets were sent home. Students are ask to fill out the booklets (which has 11 places for names and addresses) and return to school by February 4th.  For each booklet filled out, the school will receive $5.50.  The booklet will be put in a drawing for a $100,000 playground, the student could win $10,000 and the teacher could win $5,000 for the classroom.  Take a moment and fill out the booklets.

I have had only one booklet returned! Please fill these out. If everyone in the class returns them our class alone will raise $93.50 for the school.

Friday Lunch

Children's Hospital Fundraiser

The Children's Hospital Fundraiser is saying the boy and girl who raises the most money will be crowned King and Queen. Our class took a vote and decided that we would select one boy and one girl to be the representatives for this fundraiser. They voted Carter Nelson and Amy Ramage. I have jars set up in the classroom labeled with their names. Any loose change or money you would like to donate please send, the girls will be collecting for Amy and the boys for Carter.  This is for a great cause and it will help someone from our class be crowned King or Queen.
