Homecoming Parade

The Homecoming parade is Thursday, September 12 at 5:30.  Children will need to be lined up behind the hospital by 5:15.  I need to know if your child plans on participating.  Please send me an email letting me know if your child will participate so we can make plans.  Thanks!

Monday

Remember Monday is a school holiday.

Lunch Cards

You can now load money onto your child's lunch card with Paypal by going to www.pepifoods.com

I need to know how much money you load on your child's card.  It is a lot easier for me to know if they have money or not.  Several have tried to use the card to buy ice cream, but cannot if there is no money loaded on.  We have only had a couple students ordering each week, so, I did not pass out lunch forms last Friday. To save paper, if your child will be ordering, please write it on a slip of paper and send in a ziploc bag.  This includes ice cream purchase.  You can still send cash if you do not want to load on the card.

Science

We will take our first science test tomorrow.  Your child will be bringing home their science notebook tonight to study.

AR!

We will start testing on Monday! Reading ranges and goals are being sent home today.  I am going to give everyone a book from my shelf to read over the weekend.  When your child is ready to test, please initial in the box on the form in their AR folder.  I hope everyone will be ready to test on Monday.

Labor Day Boston Butt Sale

A sheet was sent home Wednesday.  The Sport's Boosters will be selling Boston Butts Labor Day weekend for $25 each. They will be picked up Friday August 30 behind the gym from 2:30-6:00. You must pre-order by Tuesday, August 27th. To reserve your Boston butt pick a ticket up at the office. There will be a limited amount available that day

Math Test

We are going to move our Math test up a day and take it on Wednesday this week.  I will not be here on Thursday, and I want to give them the first test.

Homecoming

We need a wagon to decorate for the Homecoming parade. If anyone has one we can borrow, please let me know.  We need it as soon as possible.

 Homecoming will be a little different this year.  The theme is music genres.  Our wagon theme will be "Rock and Roll."  We will have a parade on Thursday night.  Students will need to be in place by 5:15 that evening.  I will give more information closer to time about dress-up days and how we will dress for the parade.  The Sports Boosters will be selling concessions as well as BBQ sandwich plates.  BBQ plates must be pre-ordered.  A form will be sent home to order sandwiches.    

Back to School Rally

The Back to School Rally is Thursday at 6:00.

Homecoming Shirt

Homecoming shirt order forms are in folders today.  These forms must be turned in by Monday.  Homecoming is September 13.

Reading

We are still waiting for our new Reading series to come in.  We decided to go ahead and start on the first story in our old books (Come Back, Jack!).  We will test on this story on Wednesday.  Hopefully, our new books will be in by then.

Field Trips

I have enough drivers for both field trips. Thanks!

Landmark Park: Penny Peacock, Amy Price, Chantal Hughes, and Cathy Brunson

Shakespeare: Kelly Sanders, Amy Price, Cornelia Sanders, and Traci Leverette

Cheerleader Uniform

A parent of 2 1st grade students is looking for 2 Pike cheerleader uniforms.  I do not know what size she needs.  If you have one, or know someone who does, please let Mrs. Hollis know.  Thanks!

Thank you!

Mallory's dad brought in a new refrigerator for our class.  We are so grateful! If you would like to help with the cost, send in a $10 donation. Thanks!

PE

Please make sure your child is wearing tennis shoes to school for PE.

Field Trip #2

We are going to the Shakespeare Festival on January 24 to see Goodnight Moon.  We had to reserve tickets early because they always sale out quickly.  The cost is $16 for students and $18 for parents. We need 4 parent volunteers to go on this trip.  I will take the first 4 I hear from.  I will be asking for the money in the next few weeks, please do not send yet.  The sooner we pay, the better seats we get.  I will post more information about departure time and lunch plans closer to the actual trip.

Field Trip

We are making plans for our first field trip.  It will be November 20.  We are going to Living History Week at Landmark Park in Dothan.  They ask that we do not bring parents.  We will need 4 drivers for our class.  The drivers will drop us off at the park and come back and pick us up.  This could be an excellent opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done.  I know it is a few months away, but I told the kids about it yesterday, so I wanted to go ahead and post.  If you would like to go on this trip you can email me or send a note.  I will take the first 4 drivers I hear from.

Welcome

I am so excited to start the new school year with this great group of kids! I know we are going to have an awesome year! There are a few things I would like to remind you of: *Please return all forms together in the blue folder. *Please send the large lunch card and the keychain sized card back to school. Your child will need a lanyard with an i.d. holder to keep the large card in. I think Dollar Tree has these. I will keep the keychain card in my desk in case the other is misplaced. *Remember to wear tennis shoes to school in the morning. They may change shoes after P.E. *Homework and test schedule will be listed under the homework tab of the blog. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at acampbell@pikelib.com.
