 The students are getting excited about the Fun Run coming on Wednesday. Please remember that it is an early release day, and students will be released at 1pm.
Energy drinks have shown up at school. These are not permitted. The drinks have been returned to the parents, and we ask that they not be sent to school.
McDonald's night is Thursday. Imagine receives a percentage of all sales, so your participation would be wonderful. The PTO collects about $300 each month.
Our students in grades 4-8 are finalizing their Science Projects. This year the students could choose whether to be competitive or not. The projects will be judged on Friday, March 15th, and the winners will be announced on the 19th.
This week's issue includes information on Summer Camp, Odyssey of the Mind and Parent Guides for Common Core.

Boosterthon
| 
Parents,
The students are meeting daily with our Boosterthon representative, and learning about character, leadership and the importance of learning. We're also excited to see the pledges continue to grow daily.
Many students wore their Boosterthon shirts on Friday, and this coming Wednesday we'll hold our second annual Fun Run. For those parents that attended last year, you know how much fun the students have, and that the parents enjoyed participating.
We're ordering computers for a computer lab that will be set up in the Media Center. The funds are coming from previous PTO fundraisers. Parent efforts at fundraisers have provided many of the extras that our budget can't afford- stage, portable walls, basketball hoops, volleyball nets, media center, online subscriptions to curriculum resources for teachers, and much more.
Many, many thanks!! Funds raised go directly to the PTO, and the parents vote to approve the purchase of equipment and materials. Your students benefit from your efforts daily. Hope to see you at the Fun Run!!
Grades K-2 9-10am
Grades 3-5 10:15-11:15
Grades 6-8 11:30-12:30
