Mrs. Burch's Weekly Update (4/17)

Our 2nd grade concert was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! The kiddos did so great!! Click below for lots of pics from the concert! 🚀

2nd grade Poetry Par-TEA! We will be sharing our poetry books with our classmates and having a little "tea" party (with lemonade and a few snacks) on Friday, April 24. Please see the sign-up if you are able to help with any of the items needed! Thank you in advance for your donations!

Our field trip to the Community Theater on Tuesday was a blast! 

As a culminating event to celebrate One Book, One School, we are so excited to have a carnival-themed Field Day! We will be participating in activities that go with Mr. Lemoncello's Very First Game and Piper Morgan Joins the Circus ALL day! This will be held on Wednesday, May 20th (Rain date is Thursday, May 21st). 

In order to pull off this all-day event, we are looking for both donations and volunteers! There are still lots of opportunities to make a donation towards this event! Thank you in advance for any help your family can give to make this a success!

• We do not celebrate birthdays with edible treats in 2nd grade. You are welcome to send in a pencil or small trinket for your child to pass out if you would like, but I will make his/her day special regardless! Thank you for understanding!
• Don't forget: students need a healthy snack and a secure water bottle at school each day! We're having an issue with tops that don't close tightly OR that pop open easily. Please check your child's water bottle to make sure it's easy for them to latch. Thank you!
