Wow! What a week. The book fair/ice cream social was a wonderful success. The PTO put together a terrific evening and fun was had by all!!!

Also, our 1st magazine turn-in day was a success. Remember our next turn-in day is Thursday, September 27th. So please SELL SELL SELL!!!!

FUN FRIDAY

Last Friday I ate lunch with the students who had birthdays in August. A fun time was had by all!!! This coming Friday I will be celebrating with the September birthdays. Invitations will be sent home today. When participating in a birthday lunch please send a "peanut free" lunch.

A little sad news. Those of you who have had 2nd graders in the past may remember our May bake sale which was a fundraiser for Retired Greyhounds as Pets (REGAP). A representative of REGAP always came to do an assembly at which we presented them with a check. On that day my greyhound, Dotty, would spend the day with the students. This past weekend Dotty passed away. She was a sweet dog and wonderful REGAP spokes"dog". I just want to thank all of you who participated in the bake sale in anyway. It meant a lot to me and the greyhounds you helped!

THIS WEEK'S EVENTS

Tomorrow is School Picture Day here at Elizabeth Ide. Classes will be having their pictures taken at various times throughout the day. Please make sure your students are dressed the way you'd like them to be for pictures when you send them to school.

Don't forget our Magazine Drive!!! Have fun shopping this weekend - our first turn in day is Tuesday the 25th!

Friday I will be eating lunch with first and second graders who celebrated their birthdays in August. If you're student is participating please make sure you send them with a peanut free lunch!!!

Tonight's 2nd grade curriculum night went very well! Thank you to both the teachers and parents for making this event such a success.

I will be out of the office at a workshop on Thursday and Friday, but will be checking my emails if anyone needs to reach me. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend after a very busy week!

2ND GRADE CURRICULUM NIGHT

Last night's 1st grade curriculum night was terrific. Thank you to both the teachers and parents for making this event such a success.

I would like to invite all second grade parents to attend the 2nd Grade Curriculum Night this evening, Wednesday, September 12th. This will be an informative event that will give you a better understanding of your child's daily routine and what is expected in second grade. Curriculum Night is for PARENTS ONLY, begins at 6:30 and will last about an hour. I look forward to seeing all of you this evening!
