We have a fun activity planned for our Valentines Party where students will get to see baby pictures of their classmates and will try to guess who it is.  In order to do this, we need your help by sending in a cute digital baby picture of your child.  The picture needs to be school appropriate, so no pictures in diapers :) Pictures between the ages of 6 months-2 years work great. Please email a picture to your child's homeroom teacher by Friday, February 7th.  Thank you!

We have finalized details for our 3rd grade field trip and are so excited to share it with you all!

Where: Sci-Tech Discovery Center in Frisco

When: Wednesday, February 19th

What: Kids will see the Wow Space Explorers Show, participate in hands on Math-gineer Activity, and explore the cool Sci Tech Discovery Center.

Permission Papers and Chaperone sign ups will be coming home next Friday Jan. 24th.

This will be no cost to students, thanks to our amazing Glenhope PTA!
