President's Day Update

We hope you all enjoyed your long weekend.   Looks like we might have warmer days ahead -- 60 degrees predicted for Friday!   Until then, please remember to dress your child for the weather (coat, hat & gloves) as we will go outside for recess as long as the temperature is above freezing.  Several came to school last week with only sweatshirts and no coats.  Brr!!  

The Big Switch!

This week students will be switching from science to social studies and vice versa.  As a reminder, the class your child is finishing will be the end of that subject for them this quarter. 

PTO March Madness

Please help support SLE PTO at March Madness on Friday, March 4.   Fliers have been sent home for advance ticket purchase and t-shirt sales.  Also part of that evening will be a silent auction of teacher experiences and class baskets.  We ask for your generosity in donating to our class baskets.  Themes this year are:

Tucker and Clements GIRLS - Girls Galore
any girl themed item

Tucker and Clements BOYS - Boys Rule
any boy themed item

Scruby - Sports (of all sorts!) Basket

Westley - Mystery Basket -
send in any fun item to be wrapped up as part of this exciting mystery basket

Book Swap!!

Once again Mrs. Burkholder is organizing a book swap.  The idea is simple --- bring a book and take home a "new to you" book.  To make this a success we need donations from you.  Please look through your shelves and see if there are some books that would be great to recycle to new readers.   Note: There is always a greater need for books for our older readers!!    Gently used books can be brought in anytime this week to get ready for the big swap next week.
