Week of April 20th

Walk for Life is in 2 Fridays (the 1st)!  Bottles went home on April 1st.  They are due back at school on May 1st.  If they are full, your child may bring it back so I can empty it and send it back home. Please do not bring bottles back until they are full (unless it is May 1st). We will be giving the money collected to the American Cancer Society.

Like last year we will be have special collection Fridays.  For next week (20th-24th), if your child brings in a dollar they earn a bag of popcorn on Friday.  They can bring any amount of money they want for this week. If you need to pull a couple dollars out of the bottle for the special collection days, feel free to do so.

MARK YOU CALENDARS! 

The PV spring carnival is on May 1st at PV from 6pm-8pm!! Thanks to everyone that brought Frozen donations or money for the basket!

If you can volunteer to help with the carnival, please contact pvptac@gmail.com.  The PTAC has been instrumental in providing our students with money for field trips, iPads, active boards, social events and many more things!

ROX READING CALENDAR! Make sure to bring your first reading calendar back to school on Monday the 20th.  You will get a new one on Monday for that week.  Check your child's folder! 

Note from the teacher's desk:

I am starting to get more emails for change of after school transportation and other information from parents. I need you to know that I am not able to check my email all the time.  I TRY to check it at 7am, 10:45, and 2:15 (this is after students leave). This DOES NOT always happen. If you do send an email about transportation or other information, do not assume I have read it unless I reply to you. It is best to call the office with important information OR send a note with your child. If I happen to be absent the sub will never have access to my email.
