Sunday Funday!

Welcome to a new week! I've been prepping and planning for a week of fun and learning. The colder weather made it easier to stay inside and get my work done ; )

Just a few FYI's for the week:

Miss Hughs and I are in charge of the Karen Cox Memorial Scholarship Basket Fundraiser at our school. We are calling for gift cards, of any nature or amount (as long as they are labeled with the amount), for our school's basket. This is a community effort and we look forward to collecting as many as we can. We have until October 23rd and then the baskets from all over the district will be raffled off in November. It sounds like we'll have some pretty neat ones to pick from, so help our basket be one of them!

We had an assembly on Thursday where Mr. English introduced the "Bobcat 200."  This is a program that rewards great behavior.  Teachers will have 1 chip to hand out to a student each day.  If it is a blue chip the teacher hands it out to a student in their class.  If it is a yellow chip he/she hands it out to someone in a different class who they catch having great behavior.  The student takes the chip to Mrs. Zimmerman and she will let him/her sign the book of fame, you receive a nice call home, and the student draws a number.  The student will place his/her name on the number he/she selected on "Bobcat 200" board.  Once there are 10 names in a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonally) on the "Bobcat 200" those kids whose names make the 10 in a row get to participate in the special motivator.  We will be starting this program on Monday.

As many of you have seen in the news recently there have been multiple students hit by cars on their way to school.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE talk with your kids and remind them to be safe and watch for traffic.   Mr. Bouck sent out some great information and safety tips.  They are certainly worth taking a look at.  Please set a good example and use the crosswalk at all times.

I'll be putting in a book order on Friday, so either order online (preferred) or send money and the order form to school.

Wishing you well,
Mrs. Dimock
