Parents,

We are having our kick-off assembly for Reflections (A&B tracks) this Friday, September 5th at 9:00 a.m. I know that the PTA volunteers are scheming as to what they want the office ladies and myself to do if we meet our participation goal. They have strict instructions -- no kissing snakes or spiders -- but who knows what they'll come up with! Whatever it takes to promote students participating in this worthy activity. The theme is WOW! which says it all.

Parents, keep clipping those box tops (worth 10 cents each) and have your child turn them in to their teacher. Just tape or glue box tops on the green 'Hop on Box Tops!' paper (no staples, please). Turn them in to the teachers, and our PTA will collect them and reward classes too.

Ken Garff's Road to Success

We will be participating in the Ken Garff's Road to Success program this year. If we reach our goal, a student from each grade level will make Mrs. Riddle into a Sundae. Yes, you read it correctly. Ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, etc. I wonder what Sean will do if students make their goal?
