Several kind strangers took part in #GivingTuesday to fully fund our classroom project "Experience the Move West!" Thank you, thank you, thank you! Kindness is contagious and I appreciate the sunshine that these individuals poured into our classroom today. Because of their donations, our class will have additional supplies on our field trip in April. We're being gifted extra pioneer bonnets and caps so that students who wish to dress up (but don't have the supplies to make it possible) can join in on this extra bit of fun as we journey back in time to the old west. Having these costume pieces will make all the difference in the world to the students who need it. Happy holidays, everyone!

As of this fall, The Square (the company that processes our credit card transactions) changed their transaction fees. Because of this, all credit card transactions will now be charged a 4.5% convenience fee (it was previously 3%).
This raise in fees is passed on to parents ONLY so the PO Board is able to use all of the money donated to benefit our students and school instead of towards credit card fees. This ONLY affects people choosing to pay with a credit card. The PO Board will always accept checks. Thank you for all of your generous donations and support of our fundraising events.
Our students have been writing some incredible poetry. Parents, please feel free to enter one of your child's poems in Creative Communication's fall poetry contest. This type of extracurricular activity can be such a confidence booster for 4th graders! I'll be emailing each student's poetry directly to their families so they can simply copy and paste the poem into the online entry form. Best of luck!
