Will Rogers…..In the Loop!

11/20/14

Fundraiser will be in the week after Thanksgiving! December 2nd will be the delivery date. Please plan ahead to pick up your child’s items on that day. I will know an approximate delivery time in the next few days.

Literacy Night: We hope you and your child will be able to join us for our Literacy Nights. Third and 4th grade will be tonight from 6-7:00. Dr. Brian Renegar, State Representative will be here reading his new book “Cody Goes to Work with Dr. Brian”. He will have these books with him for sale if you are interested in getting an autographed copy. He is selling them for $15.00. The 1st and 2nd grade classes have been rescheduled for Thursday, Dec. 11th from 6-7:00.

Canned Food Drive: Way to go Will Rogers students! We collected 1, 618 canned food items. With the help of the PTO we are providing a ham, bag of potatoes and 2 big boxes of canned foods for 8 of our families. Thank you for helping with this project. The second grade class is the winner of the popcorn/movie party. They brought 45% of the cans.

Will Rogers Sharing Tree: We will have a special Christmas tree that will be in our school cafeteria after Thanksgiving break. There will be cards with some of our Will Rogers family’s information that may need a little extra help this holiday season. These family’s names will be confidential. This tree is for school-aged children only. This is the same idea as the Salvation Army Angel Tree. For more information see the flier that will be sent home tomorrow.

Choose to Give Toy Drive: We have a collection barrel in the hall by the front office. This is a toy drive that I have personally been a part of for the last five years. If you would like to be a part, please let me know. Last year, toys were given to over 800 area children. There is a flier attached that will give you more information.

Lost and Found: We have a big Clifford tub in the cafeteria that is almost full of coats, sweatshirts and other items. Please check to see if your child has any items that are lost. We will be donating everything left on December, Friday 21st. I cannot stress to you enough to put your child’s name in their coats, sweatshirts, gloves and hats!

PLEASE REMEMBER TO STILL BE SENDING IN YOUR BOXTOPS! WE MADE AROUND $1400.00 THIS SUBMISSION DATE. MRS. GREER’S CLASS IS THE WINNER OF OUR CONTEST. HER CLASS WILL HAVE A POPSICLE PARTY. KATHYN HOWRY BROUGHT THE MOST BOXTOPS AND RECEIVED HER WALMART GIFT CARD THIS WEEK. WAY TO GO MRS. GREER’S CLASS AND KATHRYN.
