Happy Friday 3rd Grade Families,

Our character of the week is Abhi!!! He has proven to be a Respectful Spartan! Thank you for being polite, having good manners, listening while others speak, and following directions!
He serves as an excellent role model to his classmates!
Open House News (UPDATE): Due to multiple conflicts for A & D Track teachers, our Open House date has been changed to May 18th. This is great news since this date is no longer a conflict with my training… so Open House will be on Thursday, May 18th 5:00-6:30.
APEX Fundraiser: We kicked off our school’s largest fundraiser of the year, APEX Fun Run! We’re learning a lot, we’re having a GREAT time, getting some exercise, and raising money for our school! Keep the pledges coming!!! Our Fun Run is on Thursday, February 9th. Our class will run from 8:30-9:15 AM. All students will get receive a FREE shirt to wear. I will keep these in class so we can decorate and wear on the day of the run . They can change into their APEX shirts on Thursday morning. The make this easy, perhaps you can remind your child to wear a tank under their shirt so they can quickly change in the classroom.
