Hello 5E!

Monday, January 12 - Friday, January 16

5E Bake Sale: We are hosting the bake sale on Tuesday, January 20th. You will need to send about 2 dozen baked goods with your child THAT morning (please avoid sending candy bags). The items could be purchased or homemade, and they do not need to be individually wrapped. Please label any containers you would like returned to you with your child's name. Examples of items to bring are rice krispie squares, banana bread, muffins, fruit kabobs, Jell-O, chocolate chip cookies, squares, donuts, etc. Please label anything that contains nuts. The items need to be at the school by 9:30 a.m. Families or children can drop them off at the kitchen at the beginning of the school day.
Bake Sale Volunteers: We will need 2-4 adult volunteers who can work the bake sale tables for us from 10:00 AM to approximately 11:30 AM. You will be required to help set up the tables, collect $1 from the students and pass out treats. Afterwards, we'll need you to count and roll the change for our secretaries. Please email me if you are available to help. Thank you for considering!
Power School Gradebook: Gradebooks will be closed while teachers are inputting report card comments. Gradebooks will open again on Thursday, January 29th.
