The 100th day of school is on
Thursday, February 13. In past years, we
have asked each child to bring in 100 objects to school. This year we are asking each child to bring
in 5 (or more if possible) cans of food for the food pantry to go along with
our service project. Any canned goods or
nonperishable food items would be appreciated.
We are hoping to collect at least 100 items per classroom which would be
a big help to the local area. A note
will be coming home explaining the “Lend a Hand … Bring in a Can” project. Thanks!
Earlier this
month, all students took the MAPS test (reading and math) on computers. We had also taken the same test last
fall. On Friday, a copy of the results
will be sent home with your child. It
should show your child’s score from the fall and also the winter. We will be taking one more MAPS test towards
the end of the year.
