Greetings Chaffee Families,
February is packed full of events! Please see the Upcoming Events section below so that you don’t miss anything! There are several flyers in the newsletter also to remind you of upcoming events.
This Friday students will be dismissed at 11:30am. We are aiming for 100% attendance on Friday before we begin the holiday weekend. We will have our Valentine’s Day parties Friday. Students are allowed to bring Valentines for their classmates. Classroom teachers will provide more information about this. As a reminder, all food items should be store bought. Since we have a half day of school on Valentine’s Day, teachers are getting creative with the party schedule. Your child’s teacher will share party details with you. As a reminder, siblings are not allowed to attend class parties or field trips. Thank you for adhering to this guideline.
Our 1st graders kicked off their Eagle Readers challenge this past Friday and will be ‘Wild about Reading’ for the next ten weeks. First graders will bring links to school to represent the books and chapters of books they read at home. We love to see the links grow in the hallway!
February is Black History Month. We have planned exciting educational activities related to Black History Month, including daily trivia with prizes. Our Black History Month program will be held later this month.
Last week we kicked off our last PTA fundraiser of the year: Buddy a Thon! We hope everyone is excited for it!
We want our students to be Number Ninjas! Keep practicing math facts with your child(ren)! Our Number Ninjas Celebration is scheduled for Monday, February 23.
Please remember that students need tennis shoes/sneakers for PE daily. Wearing proper shoes prevents injuries.
You can still purchase your child's yearbook online.
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
