Bingo For Books
It is almost time for our second BINGO for Books event.  It will be on Wednesday, January 30 from 5:30-7. This is such a fun event for our families and it is totally FREE.  A reservation form will be sent home soon.

BLESSING BAGS
This event was huge last year and we got great feedback.  SO we are doing it again!  We are starting to collect items for the bags.  I have a flyer coming home next week with more information!  We will put the bags together on Valentine's Day.

SHOE DRIVE
The shoe drive started Monday and will go through March 13.  We are collecting new or gently used shoes.  They must be a pair with no holes or worn soles.  They can be any kind of shoe-just no wheels.  They can be in any size as well.  Please send in your donations to school!

ROLLER SKATING
We started roller skating in PE today!  We will skate for the next 3 weeks.  Please remind your students to wear socks on their gym day.  Mrs. Sherry could use more volunteers to help.  If you are interested in helping, contact Mrs. Sherry.  We go to gym on Tuesdays, from 10:05-10:45.
