IN OTHER EXCITING NEWS...

This coming Friday is the Jump for Heart.  We will be jumping from 12:30 until 2:30 - that's a LOT of jumping!  There will not be centers Friday afternoon.  The kiddos need to bring a jump rope for Friday if they have one.  Please put their name on the handle with a Sharpie.

After jumping we usually have an Eegee’s treat. I would like each student to bring in 1$, if possible, to put towards the Eegees.  I also need a volunteer parent that could pick the Eegees up and bring it to our classroom.  I will give that parent the $$ ahead of time. Collecting a dollar from everyone keeps the cost from being one family’s responsibility.

Bobcats at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum

April 3^rd will be our field trip to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.  We will leave about 9am and return before 1:30pm.  I have 4 volunteers scheduled - including me makes 5- which is the number they allow for “Official Chaperones”.  If you would still like to go I believe you can pay for yourself and ride the bus (provided there is room) or drive yourself and meet us there. 

Your child will need a disposable sack lunch, water bottle and sunscreen (apply before you come to school); a hat would be great too. I will email volunteers separately so that you can double-check your calendar and make sure you are still available.

Spring Break is the week of March 14^th – March 22^nd.  That is next week and school will be closed.

Report cards will be sent home on Friday March 27^th.

Please send me pictures from the “Father Daughter Dance” if you would like to share.  I was there until 7:30 and I have a few pictures to show the class. 

Thank you to the Dads for taking the time to bring your beautiful daughters!
