*NEWS FOR PARENTS

**We are encouraging you to join our PTA!  If our class has 50% join, Mrs. Boyer will plan a very special treat.... We only have TWO members as of today.  If we can get SEVEN more families to join for $10.00 apiece, then LOOK OUT!  I'm ready to bring on the surprise :^)

**THANK YOU for your hard work and support of our cookie dough sale!  Our class collected more than $400.00.  This year has been the BEST cookie dough fundraiser EVER!


**PARENTS!  Important note about Accelerated Reading and Classworks computer programs.  Since our school is testing Classworks, which involves reading and math activities online, we will not have time for every student to take an AR test every day.  We are working hard to find a way to balance both programs.  Thanks for your support... And yes, students need to keep reading those books at home!
