We hope you had a wonderful first weekend of December! The kiddos have been doing a great job settling back into our routine :) We know it's going to be another great week in 4th grade! Please see below for this weeks reminders, announcements, and homework schedule:
Some General Reminders and Announcements:
A note from Student Council:
We will be collecting items for the Humane Society starting Tuesday December 5th. They are in need of the following items:
-Newspapers: For shredding to put in puppy cages, admissions kennels, and puppy suites (this is a huge need–hook us up!)
-Old bath towels, hand towels and fleece make beds for sick or injured animals, to help them feel safe and warm, and for drying off after baths
-Doggy Bags: Help us keep our doggie areas clean while we run and play with our pups by donating any type of doggie poo bags.
-Laundry Detergent: Detergents that get odor and germs out are the best
- Bleach: We use bleach for some of our cleaning; any brand is fine
- Cat grooming supplies: Furminators, brushes and combs all keep our kitties happy!
- Trash bags: 45 gallon or larger
- Milk Bone Dog Biscuits: MEDIUM, SMALL or MINI size only, please! Volunteers use them to train the dogs and cannot break the big ones
-A note from AHS: We can always accept used crates, collars, leashes and other dog/cat supplies, but please note that we cannot accept pillows, opened dog or cat food, or carpet samples.
Please bring items to Miss Wilson’s room (P145-2/3rd grade hall). We will be accepting donations untilWednesday December 20th
