Parents,
We are asking that each child donate at least $1 to the Harris family. This is going to help with the funeral cost. DeMario was a student and football player at Charles Henderson High School. Your child can bring the donation to me or you can turn it into the office. Thanks so much for your help and support.

Dr. Barron from Troy Animal Clinic came to visit.
Dr. Barron taught us about pet safety and answered questions about being a veterinarian. We are so happy he took time out of his busy schedule to share this with us. We had a GREAT time!! He sent us home with all kinds of neat things including: a stethoscope that we used to listen to "Little Man's" heart, a Frisbee, a comic book, animal tattoos, and other goodies. =)
I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Zaxby's for Lunch on Thursday
Parents,
If your student has not had their "Bird Moved" more than once in the month time frame, Mrs. Baggett has agreed to take them to Zaxby's for lunch on Thursday. I would suggest them each bring $10 to cover any meal they may purchase. Those who did not quite make the mark will have lunch with the other 2nd grade class. This was a very generous offer from Mrs. Baggett, and I hope it will motivate those who were not so fortunate to follow the rules in class next time. We are very excited! =)
Love,
Mrs. Rogers

Although I would love for each child and parent to get to go, ONLY a
certain number of passengers will fit. I will leave a spot for each child, but
I have to take parents on a first come basis. The first 10 parents in EACH 2nd
grade class will be assured to come. After that, I will add parents based on
who turned things in first as we have room. Because of this, only one adult at
most per child will be able to attend.
**PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL to me if YOU (parent) want a spot on the bus. It
will make it easier for me to tell who signed up first.
