Mrs. Burch's Weekly Update (8/30)

We had a fun week! We focused on CARE this week--talking about how, at Hutchings, we CARE about each other in so many ways. We also talked about how we can be Compassionate, Accountable, Respectful, and Engaged Huskies all the time!

Next week we have four full days (no school Monday for Labor Day). Please make sure your child eats a good breakfast. He/She may eat breakfast at school, if you wish. Breakfast and lunch are free again for HPS students this year! 

Book orders came home in your child's take-home folder yesterday! Orders are due online by Friday (9/6) at noon, if you wish to order! Scholastic books are a great value and help us earn books for our classroom library, too! Our class ordering page is: https://orders.scholastic.com/GZKBK

Don't forget a healthy morning snack (nut-free, please)! If you would like to donate individually wrapped snacks to our classroom, I have added some options to our Classroom Wish List. You can also send in any other individually wrapped nut-free snacks you would like! I like to keep a little stash in case students forget a snack. We do NOT have an afternoon snack in 2nd grade. 

Check out the fun we had during our teamwork activity yesterday--Saving Fred!

Join the Roo Crew! The proceeds will go to support an outdoor enclosure at school for Roo!
