What an awesome week week 4 was! Between the Solar Eclipse, Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night, Picture Day, Rootbeer Floats, and All-Pro Dads, we were busy but productive. It was so fun to see so many of out at spirit night. I loved getting to know some of your families a little better and for you to meet my (cranky but usually sweet) daughter Norah.
Thank you to those of you who have donated to the annual Paws Check Campaign. With your help, there is so much we are going to do to help our students, so THANK YOU!
I would love to begin having Mystery Readers in our class beginning in September. If this is something you are interested in and would like to volunteer, head on over to the contact page and email me. These would take place 2 Fridays a month.
Here is an important message from the Attendance Team:
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Coming to school every day on-time is a key ingredient to student success. The Teasley Attendance Team wants to reward those students who come to school ready to learn and on time every day. Any student who has perfect attendance through the end of the 1st 9 weeks, Friday, October 6th, will receive recognition for their attendance. These students will receive a free dress down day, a surprise treat, and their pictures will be featured on the WWTN news broadcast. Students who have perfect attendance for the entire school year will be invited to a special celebration during the last week of school to praise their commitment to their education. Thank you for your support in getting your student to school every day!
