2nd Grade Announcements
- Color Run Prize Dates - We've earned many incredible class prizes as part of our Color Run Fundraiser. We have several we will be celebrating this upcoming week. Please see the outline of dates/prizes:
- Family Lunch Fridays - Starting Oct. 14th, our campus is open on Fridays for lunch visitors! When you arrive you will sign in at the front office and receive a visitor badge that must be worn at all times. You will need a photo ID (license or passport). You will be able to each lunch with your child at the designated tables for lunch visitors. You may only eat with your child. No other learners may be invited to eat with you. You may purchase lunch in the cafeteria or bring a lunch with you. Parents will be dismissed from the cafeteria. You will need to go back through the front office to sign out at the end of lunchtime. Please see Ms. Martin's Principal Newsletter for details on who may eat with your child and a form to fill out for non-parent lunch visitors.
- Snack - 2nd grade has a short snack time each morning to keep our brains and bodies fueled for learning. It is a long time between breakfast and lunch at noon each day. Please help us by sending ONE (1) small, healthy snack each day. We have many learners bringing a small meal or multiple snacks, which causes many messes to clean up and is unable to be eaten in the time allotted for snack each day. Additionally, we ask that you save juice boxes and flavored waters for lunchtime. We only allow water in the classroom, so the carpet does not stain if any spills happen. Thank you!
