There will be a meeting on March 17th at 6:00 in my room. If your child is going on this trip they must
attend along with an adult.

Water: We do not have anymore water money for bottled water in our classroom. I hope that other
parents will contribute to this if your child uses this water. I know that several students do not use it
but some use it several times a day. With our new safety protocols students need to keep a water
bottle with them at their desk. Please make sure your child has one daily.

FCAT Breakfast: As many of you know it has been a tradition that we give the students a small
breakfast type snack before they start the test. This is not meant to replace breakfast but get them
energized for the test.

Things brought in the past were breakfast casseroles, bagels, biscuits with sausage, sausage balls,
fruits, cheese, juice(orange, apple, milk), cups, plates, napkins. Send enough for 21 students.

Tuesday (3/16) Wednesday (3/17)

Please see me if we have not talked about the new pick-up

procedures.

Please read all of your MACS Matters this week and every week for information. The
office sends these electronically and if you do not receive it please let Mrs. Bowman
know in the front office. This saves us a lot of paper and time.

Please send back the Tour Enrolment form on Monday. I also need your childs shirt
size on Monday for their T-shirts.

Adults going please let me know if there is another adult you want to room with. I will
be emailing this on Wednesday.

Pennies for Patients is coming March 22nd – March 26th.

Volunteer week is the 29th through the 2nd of April. Please plan to attend the volunteer
lunch on the 31st of march. Please RSVP by the 25th to me.
