Early Information....(I know you've missed me!!!)

 I am sending this out early to give you some important reminders for the rest of this week and to send you next week's Raffe report as well....I am sure you   missed having this great reading material last week! I hope everyone enjoyed their extra long break with their families!
Reminders:
Tomorrow is our spelling test....even though there was no HW packet they did have spelling words to practice (we did a spelling station today too)!
Friday will be our snow delayed Valentine's party in the afternoon so please be sure your child has Valentines in to give their friends! There will be a sub in the morning for  more  professional development for writing! The sub will be Mrs. McGlynn.
Friday night at 6 pm will be MARCH MADNESS WACKY OLYMPICS...many of the staff (including yours truly) will be participating in this FUN and CRAZY event to raise funds for the Bethlehem Central Community Foundation which assists families in need in the community. It costs $3.00 for elementary students and $5.00 for teens/adults, and children under 5 are free. The Olympics are followed at 7:30  by the annual staff basketball game too. PLEASE COME JOIN IN THE FUN!!!
