Dear Parents,

“The Store” is open for business tomorrow.  Sue Tolin has been my cashier for about six years.  She has graciously volunteered to help with our class store again this year.  The Store is a bulletin board consisting of many items such as rulers, pads of paper, posters, stickers, pencils, pens, highlighters, bookmarks and much more.  Each item has a price tag.  Students will be able to purchase items on Fridays.  Your child will earn money for completing work, following directions, working quietly, helping a friend or many other possibilities.  The store is a privilege for those who have earned it.  Donations are always appreciated for “The Store.”  Any of the many dollar stores offer great items for us to use.  I’ve received donations from past year’s parents donating McDonald’s and Burger King toys as well, but I have many toys at this point.  Currently I need more school supplies items.

Also there is a bake sale tomorrow.  All proceeds will go to Kaitlyn Smith’s family.  This family lost everything in a house fire last Sunday.  All items are 50 cents each.

Warmly,

Shantel

Last Friday our presentation by Buck Wilder was cancelled due to the weather.   It is rescheduled for Monday, 19^th at 10:00 – 10:45 in the Media Center.  Luckily the weather didn’t interfere with our afternoon plans.  We had a wonderful field trip to Manistee Public Library and Pizza Hut.  Your child’s books are due on Friday, March 22nd.  We will walk to the Onekama Public Library to return them and check out new books.  You can visit our web page at www.onekama.k12.mi.us/e2007/g1n/Library/PizzaHut.htm   for pictures and student writing about this event.
