Week of August 20-24

Picture Day is Tuesday, 8/21. Order forms were sent home last week, and a reminder will come home on Monday. With your picture order, you will receive a memorable picture, AND our school also gets a portion of the proceeds. These funds help to purchase extra needs for the classrooms, which benefit our kids, so ... WIN-WIN! :)

Our class is on Instagram! Look for us at whites4thgrade . It will be a private account, so ask to follow us (PARENTS ONLY please - the students are too young for Instagram) . I'll try to post something daily, but there are already some videos and pictures there.

Thursday night is the Back-to-School Bash with food trucks and fun! I will be working the first shift, so come and say hi. :)

Have you donated to the school Foundation yet? We LOVE them! They pay for our new Science Lab and Computer Lab instructors that help enrich your kids every week. Here is the link: http://www.rockymountfoundation.org/donate.html
