Due to the holiday, there will only be 15 spelling words this week for Group A.

We will have a field trip to the Phoenix Zoo on Tuesday, March 1. The cost is $3.50 per person. I would prefer to have the money before the day of the field trip so that I can plan ahead. Also, students need to bring a sack lunch on that day.




Sincerely,

Happy Valentine’s Day!! Thanks to all of the parents who donated food for the Valentine’s celebration.

We are having a reading contest this month. The person who gets the most reading logs turned in will win.

I am trying to plan a field trip to The Phoenix Zoo in early March. The cost will be around $2.00-3.50 per person. I will send home permission forms when details are finalized.

Please DO NOT send sick children to school. Sickness spreads fast in a school environment.

Please make sure that the office has your correct phone number in case they need to call you. If you have changed a work or cell phone number, please send a note or call the office.




Sincerely,
Beth Hernandez
