Reminders

Reminders for the week of February 20-24:

• There is no school on Monday and Tuesday.
• We will not have a Wordly Wise/Spelling lesson or a reading story.
• Language test over Ch. 31-32 on Friday. See test alert in Friday folder.
• Friday: Hat Day (send $1.00 to be donated to the Macon Animal Rescue)

Also, we would like to ask you to please remember to send a note or an email if your child will be leaving school for an appointment and whether or not your child will be returning to school after the appointment. It is MUCH easier for us to get work together first thing in the morning than it is in the middle of a lesson. We appreciate your help with this!

Service opportunity

     Daybreak Shelter on Walnut Street near downtown Macon will have a reading area open to local homeless people for one day a week starting on Monday, February 20th. Below are some of the supplies needed. A donation box will be located in the TSA Cafe.If you would like to send something, please have your student take it to the lunchroom in the morning before coming to class. You may also email Sister Elizabeth Greim at daybreak.macon@gmail.com, and she will coordinate with you where you can drop off larger items.

Supplies needed:  Rugs, Book Cases, Floor Lamps, Coffee Tables, Comfortable Chairs, Magazines, Board Games, Art Supplies (sketch paper, pencil, pens, and markers), Coffee Mugs, Toilet Paper, Paper Towels, Hand Sanitizer, Coffee, filters, stirrers, cream, sugar, Lemonade, Snack items (like chips, fresh fruits, but no pastries or cupcakes), Napkins, Small Plates


     Sister Elizabeth Greim, director of Daybreak, said the shelter's reading area will be much like a living room area, where homeless people can grab a cup of coffee, read a magazine or play games for a couple of hours during the afternoon.
     This is just one part of the services that they plan to provide. They are going to be renovating the entire building on Walnut Street where they will have job-hunting, medical and mental health services for homeless people. While many of the services are not yet in place, they wanted to start helping people right away.

Reminders

All money for the Valentine's Party should be turned in by Monday. Our party will be during lunch on Tuesday in the classrooms.

Monday is the last day to order balloons from Y-club for delivery to the classroom on Tuesday.

Movie Camera book reports are due Friday. Your child may bring in his/hers when complete. These will be shared with the class on Thursday, February 23.

Thank you so much to Jan Baggarley, Will's grandmother, for coming and teaching us the best way to "Wash Your Paws."  It was a fantastic demonstration!
