Mrs. Burch's Weekly Update (11/15)

Hello, families! We had a great week! Sensei Sam visited this afternoon! Ask your kiddos about it!  

A few reminders:

• The weather is getting chilly, especially in the morning during morning recess. PLEASE make sure your child has a coat or sweatshirt for morning recess. The rule is that they wear coats when the temp is 50 or lower. Thank you for your support!
• I am still looking for a parent representative to attend PTO meetings. Please let me know if you are willing to serve in this capacity! 
• If you would like to volunteer in our classroom this year, please make sure you have filled out all the paperwork and have been cleared in the office before signing up! Here is the sign-up for Classroom Volunteers! 
• Please note: We do not celebrate birthdays with edible treats in 2nd grade. You are welcome to send in a pencil, small toy, or trinket for your child to pass out, if you wish! We will make sure their day is special regardless! 🎉
