| Parking Reminder: | | |
We had a near miss in the cross walk last week. A parent turned right out of our drop off and pick up lane while the crossing guard was in the cross walk. Please be sure you don't turn out while the cross walk is occupied by students or by the crossing guard. We appreciate your help in keeping our students and staff safe!

| CBC: | |
The next CBC session is approaching quickly and will begin the Wednesday after spring break. Students will be broken up a bit differently for this session. 1-3 grade students will participate in modules related to the Natural World design principle. 4-6 grade students will participate in modules related to the Primacy of Self Discovery design principle. Module coordinator recruitment forms will begin coming home in the next week or so. Please be on the lookout for these very important documents. The week of March 11th student registration forms will come home with a lottery planned for Friday, March 15th. The final primacy recital will be on the evening of May 15th (location to be announced). Back To Top |

Thank you to the family who made this wonderful donation. This stool is exactly what Exceptional Child Services is looking for to support our students in technology and the classrooms so they can have their feet firmly planted on the stool and be in the best position for writing and working on keyboards. We welcome these in the event anyone else finds one in their garage or attic. Thanks again for this great donation!.

Costumes Needed: | | |
Dear ANSER Parents,
I am looking for some costumes to be donated to our school for a project I am working on. They need to be adult sizes.
The costumes/items I am seeking need to be career oriented. These would become a part of ANSER for years to come, and be a part of your child's learning. J It would be even better if they had props that went along with them as well.
If you have any items in your home you wouldn't mind donating to a good cause, or know of somewhere to get the items, I would appreciate this so much!!!!
Examples would include, but are not limited:
Doctor/stethoscope
Cowboy
Archeologist
Pilot
Firefighter
Police man
Construction worker
Scientist
Nurse
Dentist
Farmer
Mother
Father
Rock Star
Artist
Coach
Designer
Electrician
Judge
Journalist
Historian
Athletic Trainer
Zoologist
Veterinarian
Civil Engineer
Thank you so much!!! You can leave them in the office with my name on them and Denice and Angie will get them to me.
