Assessments
If your child receives a 1 on any type of assessment, please do one of the
following: sign the assessment and send it back to school the next day OR
write a note in your childs agenda stating you saw the assessment.
PE Cares Food Drive
The fifth graders are being encouraged to donate proteins and other.
Tuna fish, peanut butter, baked beans, etc. are suggested, but
anything would be appreciated. Toiletries, such as toothpaste,
deodorant, shampoo, and soap are also being collected. Thanks so
much for taking this opportunity to help teach our students about
compassion and love for others.
Square 1 Art orders
This Monday, November 9 is the deadline for Square 1 Art orders!
The grade with the highest percentage of participation will win an extra CLAY project this year!!!
It is a VERY close competition. With just a few more orders placed your grade could win the
extra clay project!
Money earned will go toward small and large things for the art room. We REALLY need new
staplers, books on different cultures and artists that support the art curriculum, and if enough is
raised a new projector and screen. With the addition of another projector in art we would be able
to project the demonstration of techniques and a visual of the painting/photograph we are
referencing large for all to see. :)
Thank you so much for supporting your young artist and the art program at Park!
