Mrs. Burch's Weekly Update (10/24)

Hi, parents!  I will not be at school tomorrow, so please make sure to call the office with any end of the day schedule changes!  

Please note: 
  • Students will bring Brag Bags home to read with you this weekend.  We have been working really hard on reading this school year, so please encourage your child to show you how great they are reading!  We are focusing on nonfiction text right now.  They need to read at least 15 minutes over the weekend.  Please make sure to sign and return their Brag Bags on Monday. 
  • Our Boo Breakfast (Halloween Party) will be from 9-10am the morning of Halloween!  Please visit the sign-up sheet for the party.  Boo Breakfast Sign-up Sheet  Students should wear their costumes to school and bring a change of clothes to change into after the party.
  • As for Halloween costumes--Please remember there are NO masks, NO gore, NO weapons, NO exception.  This is straight from Mr. Moore.  Nothing that covers your face can be worn at school.  We need to be able to see your face very easily.  Face paint that is not bloody/gory is okay.
