Remember to put the running shoes on the kiddos and get them ready for the 2nd Annual Fun Run. Children will run at selected times during the day Friday. This day is also October Count Day (the most important day for your child to be at school because it determines the state and federal funding we receive for each student. For more information see the orange sheet in your child's Thursday folder.
Please continue to collect pledges; all money is due back to school on October 7th. We know this is a family effort and we thank all of our parents and grandparents for their support.
Parents and volunteers, please don't forget to bring your cameras to the Fun Run on Friday. When submitting pictures for the yearbook, please limit the amount of pictures of one specific child. We are looking for a variety of children for the yearbook. Please email any pictures to mkelmore@msn.com. You may also burn pictures to a CD and give it to the school office to be placed in the yearbook mailbox. Please include your name, phone number and email address to the CD incase I need to contact you. Thanks for everyone's help! It is greatly appreciated!
HAT DAY is this FRIDAY! Wear your favorite hat and have some fun!
Box Tops
The classroom Box Tops contest begins on Monday, September 26th. The class that brings in the most Box Tops wins a treat party! So don't forget to send in your Box Tops with your child to help their class win. The contest runs until Friday, October 7th! Last year we used the proceeds from Box Tops to buy a piano for the music room!
ART CONTEST ARTWORK IS DUE FRIDAY
Please turn in your artwork to Ms. Santay by Friday for the Buzz Book Art Contest. Children should draw and color a picture on an 8 ½ X 11 piece of paper with their name and teacher's name written on the back. The picture should be about what Pine Ridge means to me. We will announce the winner of the contest on October 7th and the winning picture will be on the 2011-2012 Buzz Book.
Earning 4 Learning
Another tip for earning more points for our school: Buy Southlands gift cards. Pine Ridge Elem gets 1000 bonus points PER gift card purchased. You can log them for our school at the time of purchase. We also get points for the dollar amount you put on the gift card. PLUS, then you can log the receipts when you spend the gift card. It's like getting double points!

ReplyDeleteA family letter is sent home each week explaining the spelling strategies for the week. Please read and discuss this with your child. If he/she is participating in class and understands the concepts discussed in the family letter then they should expect to do well on the spelling test.
