Jazz Contest

After two weeks into our reading contest SAA has read 442,617 minutes.  We are almost ½ way to our school goal of 930,000 minutes.  Please continue to read and turn in your blue reading slip.  It is very important that everyone remember to turn in their last reading slip on Wed. Feb 22^nd.  This is the end of the contest and we will be out of school for five days, this is the only day we can count students reading minutes since they must be faxed to the JAZZ by 10:00 on Wed.  Please help us by remembering to return your slips on Feb 22^nd.  Don’t forget to get sponsors, Usborne books sponsors our reading contest, ½ of the money goes to the student to choose a book and ½ of the money goes to the library for books.  Thank you for participating in our Usborne/ JAZZ Contest.

Pillows, Pancakes, and P.J.’s event

Just a reminder that our Pillows, Pancakes, and P.J.’s event will be held on Monday Feb 6^th from 5:00-7:30.  Please come if possible, it helps our school earn extra reading minutes by the thousands.  We need to read 930,000 minutes as a school to earn our movie day with a treat, along with our free dress day and pie throwing.  Parents are welcome to drop off their student or volunteer to stay and help, students will be put in a group with a group parent and rotate rooms and be read to.  Please sign in and out in the elementary foyer.  See you there!!!

Levi Day

On Friday, February 3rd, we will be having a levi/shirt day.  This day is being sponsored by our POEC.  The cost to wear levis and the shirt is $1.00.  The money earned will be designated for field trips.  Every grade will receive the money that that grade earns for field trips.    Please send your student's $1.00 on Friday and we will collect the money in the classroom.  We are asking the following:

1.  Screen prints on shirts cannot display items that are illegal i.e. alcohol ads, tobacco ads, etc.

2.  Shirts are appropriate to wear to school

3.  Shirts can have game/team names, etc

4.  Please no baggy/saggy pants
