Hey Parents,
I will be sending out an email today about our Valentines Party next Thursday (2/14 -- 1:00- 2:00). I will need a few volunteers to come into the classroom to help run classroom activities, but also volunteers to just bring in some supplies for treats/games. Look for the sign-ups coming this afternoon! If the sign up is already filled with volunteers & you would still like to come in, you absolutely are welcome to come in and help and join in on the fun! :) With treats, please keep in mind that we are a peanut free classroom! :) Class List: Lauren Bentyn Saige Lincoln Isaac Wilson Patrick Tyce Katherine Walker Normandy Hannah Skylar Isaac Jakub Annie

Hey Families, I wanted to share with you our classroom Auction Basket theme for the year. Just a reminder, We are auctioning our baskets at Family Fun Night this year (Friday, October 26 from 5:00-7:00 - Halloween Family Fun) Our Basket theme for the year is " A Cozy Coffee Basket" A (fall-ish) Basket. So anything that makes you feel cozy, warm, and any and all fall feelings, that will be perfect! Please consider having your child bring in 1-2 items for our classroom basket. All basket proceeds go directly to Arrowhead School for software learning activities. Thank you so much for your donations. Ideas for the basket: various Coffee flavors, coffee mugs, espresso, coffee makers, coffee creamer, coffee gift cards, cozy blankets, baking (coffee cake), good books, candles, tea, family friendly movies and board games for cozy fall evenings. Really anything Cozy. :) I will also need one parent that is willing to put the basket together after we have all the items for our basket. They will need to volunteer to find a basket that fits the theme and wrap it all up. Let me know if that is something you would be interested in doing. Thanks again! Here are a few pictures for inspiration! I feel like I could go to target and get just about anything from their fall hearth and home section and it would work. :) Thank you so much! Mrs. Huskey |
