*It's GREEN RIBBON WEEK November 14th through 18th!!! This year's theme is "Be A Star". We will be focusing on how to live a healthier lifestyle, so make sure to ask you child about the things they learn this week.
MONDAY: Each child will be given a green bracelet to wear. Each will have numbers to be entered in a daily drawing. Also, make sure to check each day for what color of shirt to wear the next day, as you can' t claim a prize if you aren't wearing the correct color of the day!! Shirt colors will be announced on posters around the school, so watch for them. Assembly at 2:30 to kick off Green Ribbon Week
TUESDAY: National Recycling Day. Bring in all your old cell phones, used batteries, and toner cartridges to be recycled. The class that brings in the most wins a SMOOTHIE PARTY!
THURSDAY: Nutrition Class students from the high school will be coming to discuss nutrition with the kids.
TUESDAY - FRIDAY: WALK-A-THON during P.E. class times. A pledge sheet came home with your child last week. Make sure you ask friends and family to help with this fund raiser---the money raised will go toward buying technology for the classrooms (like smart boards, etc). WEDNESDAY, November 16th is the school's THANKSGIVING FEAST!!!
Upcoming Events to be aware of:
SPELLING BEE: your child should have brought home a very long spelling list last week. It has a blue note attached to the front with information about the spelling bee. This is the second year the South Elementary has participated in this and we hope to continue, as it is a very good learning activity for the students. PLEASE PRACTICE THE WORDS WITH YOUR CHILD AT HOME, spell them out loud, write them down, use them in your day to day conversations---just help them get used to these words so that if they are chosen to be in the bee, they will feel comfortable with it. The school level spelling bee will be held on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27th and the District Level will be held on FRIDAY, MARCH 2nd.
The SCIENCE FAIR will be held on MARCH 22nd; more information to come.
