Examples of the Famous Texan Project
Dear Parents,
The days are flying by as we head into summer. Thank you for all the cards, notes, and gifts during Teacher Appreciation Week. I feel blessed to work in this community.
Thank you for the amazing Friday Feast that was provided to teachers today!!
Our last two testing days are next Monday and Tuesday. We will celebrate a year of hard work on May 16th with and End of Year Showcase from 7:20 to 7:40am. I hope to see you all there.
STAAR Snacks
The 4th grade Homeroom moms will have snacks for each student on the STAAR days next week. Your child is welcome to bring additional snacks. We do ask that all snacks are dry and nutritious. We also ask that you do not send snacks like Cheetos, Doritos, etc. due to the coating that can transfer to the STAAR bubble sheets.
Chili Cook-Off
Your child is bringing home a chili recipe and a BLUE Chili Responsibility form home this weekend. Each group met and picked a chili recipe, and they then decided who would be bringing what supplies and ingredients for their chili. The blue sheet of paper needs to be signed by you and brought back to school on Monday, May 13th. It will come back home on Monday.
All non perishable items (canned goods, plates, bowls, table decor, etc.) need to be brought to school on Monday, May 20th. All other items that require refrigeration (desserts, meat…) need to be brought to school on Wednesday, May 22nd.
