Week of December 15th

Report card time!  Report cards went home on the 8th. If you still have the brown envelope that it came in, please sign and return as soon as possible!

Reading Tip of the Week:
Once is not enough! Encourage your child to re-read their favorite books and poems. Re-reading helps kids read more quickly and accurately!

Headphones are needed for Media Class starting now. Please make sure your child brings their headphones as soon as possible. (Many of them are already here.)

Last day to donate to the food drive is Monday the 15th!

Annual Food Drive-November 14th-December 15th:
Bring donations to Pleasantview.  We are looking for nonperishable food items and non-food supplies.  Examples are: tuna and canned meats, peanut butter and jelly, cereal, mac and cheese, soap, combs, brushes, deodorant, paper towel etc.  If you want to give an item and aren't sure if it is in need, email or ask me. ALL OF THE ITEMS GO DIRECTLY TO PV FAMILIES IN NEED OR THE FOOD SHELF.

We have made our crafts for the Toys for Tots store!  Check out the photo on the Toys for Tots blog post.  We will visit the store on Wednesday the 17th.  If you would like your child to shop please send money on that day.  This money goes to the local Toys for Tots charity.  Items will range from 25 cents to $5 or so.  Last year the store raised $1500 for our local Toys for Tots!!
