Dear Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful week off in February, and you enjoyed your time together.
March 3rd - 7th is Dr. Seuss/Read Across America Week. I will read one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books to each classroom. Dress as your favorite book character is on the 5th. You do not have to pick a character from a Dr. Seuss book, any school-appropriate book will work. I can’t wait to see all the great costumes.
Our PTO-sponsored community service project will take place from March 10th to March 21st. We are collecting money to purchase bees for a community in another country. This will enable them to produce and sell organic honey and put food on their tables. If you would like to donate, please send it to school before the 21st. We will also have a table set up at our Art Show on the 21st, and you can donate then. Thank you for your support.
Walker Elementary will be hosting an EL family meeting on March 11th from 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm. Everyone is invited to attend.
March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day. Don’t forget to wear green that day.
March 21st is our annual Art Show. Each student will make a beautiful piece of art which will be displayed that night. Please join us in the cafeteria from 5:30 - 7:00. PTO will be serving popcorn to enjoy while you stroll through our art show.
Please continue to call the school office every day your child is out ill. We are still in the middle of the winter sicknesses. You can request an Independent Study, so your child does not fall behind during their absence. If your child is returning early from their Independent Study, please inform the office. Thank you for helping our office keep attendance records current and up to date.
If you did not have the opportunity to buy an Ambrosini t-shirt or sweatshirt in the fall, I have ordered a few for you to purchase. The T-shirts are $20 and the sweatshirts are $30. They are available in the school office.
Our March board meeting will be held on March 13th in the FMS cafeteria at 6:30 PM. The next PTO meeting is March 25th at FMS at 6:30. We are planning our school carnival, and we need parents to volunteer, so please come to the meeting and see how you can help.
Have a wonderful March,
Angela Schuetzle, Principal
