Generosity
Our Character trait for the month of December is GENEROSITY. Third grade has already shown a great deal of generosity by donating almost 200 canned goods to TAP (Temporary Assistance Program) and sending 6 boxes of items to our soldiers over seas. However, they are not stopping there. The annual COIN WAR has begun and the third graders are eagerly donating all their silver coins. It is good to see our third graders put the needs of others before their own during this holiday season. We are proud of each and everyone of you!
KEEP BRINGING THE COINS!!
In Need of Cans!
I am in need of some REGULAR SIZE Pringles cans. Our class is going to create a Christmas craft using these cans. I have some, but I really need about 10 more. If you have any, would you please send them with your child before Monday, December 12th.
Thank You!!
Gratitude
Our character trait for the month of November was Gratitude. During the Character Ed Assembly, thirty-two boxes of canned goods were presented to TAP, Temporary Assistance Program. Our intermediate students did an awesome job of demonstrating gratitude through their actions and words. Lexi and Bailey were two of our students that exhibited this trait on more than one occasion. Awesome job girls!
Progress Reports
Progress reports and current graded work will come home on Tuesday, November 29th. Please return the signed progress report and graded paper envelope with papers inside. We do our best to correct every paper; however, there are a few that may be overlooked due to absences or just not enough time. If you come across anything that is not corrected, feel free to discuss these problems with your child.
Early Release
Tuesday, November 22nd, will be an early release for Intermediate. Dismissal time will be 11:30.
I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving! I will see each of you on Monday, November 28th.
Box Tops
We need all the box tops that we can collect! One lucky student in intermediate will win a large Christmas stocking stuffed with goodies. The class with the most box tops collected will win an extra large cookie cake from The Great American Cookie Company! Make sure that you put your first and last name on the back of each box top. Good luck!!
Don’t forget: Mrs. Odom loves cookie cake, so bring those box tops!
