Hope those interested enjoyed the Super Bowl last night! We had some sleepy owlets fly in this morning...they said staying up a little later than usual to watch parts of the game had them worn out!
Please see the announcements below:
Discovery Quest Presentations are THIS WEEK:
Don't forget that your child was assigned a day this week to prepare and present his/her Discovery Quest Presentations! These presentations are for a grade, so preparation is important! There will be no spelling this week, to allow for extra practice opportunities! If you are missing directions, the Discovery Quest Planning Sheet (due on the day of your child's presentation), or any other information about these project, please check under the Homework Resources Tab!
Scholastic Book Orders:
Our class can earn bonus points towards new books for any orders placed on or before February 29th! If your child is in need of some new reading material, we would love for you to order some books from our Scholastic Book Class Link: https://clubs2.scholastic.com and use our class code: LRJMC.
Teacher Appreciation Week Donations:
We need raffle prizes for Teacher Appreciation week. Do you own a business or have an unused gift card from the holidays? Please consider donating these as well as any other new items and gift cards to Teacher Appreciation week to be given to teachers in a raffle at the luncheon. Items can be dropped off at the Front Office anytime before February 11th. Let's show the best teachers in Cobb County just how much we appreciate them!!
Student Council is having a Valentine’s Day fundraiser Tuesday, February 9th to Friday, February 12th. Students will be selling candy grams and a card for $1.00 from 7:20-7:50 inside the cafeteria.
