2nd Grade Information
Happy Birthday to Charlotte Fuller-Winkels on Saturday, Oct. 28!
TENNIS SHOES: If students are wearing boots to school in the morning, don’t forget to bring a pair of shoes for gym class.
Vision and Hearing Checks will be on Tuesday morning. Second graders will only get their hearing checked. Grades 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 will get their vision and hearing checked.
HALLOWEEN PARTY MONEY: Please send in $8 to help pay for 3 class parties throughout the school year (Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines’)…$2 for each party, and $2 for the auction item and carnival baskets we make. It is always something wonderful.
FOOD SHELF – The elementary and high school student councils are collecting food for the GM food shelf through Thursday, Nov. 2. Thank you to those who have already donated! See the calendar on the other side for suggestions of food to bring, but any non-perishable food is acceptable. Please check the dates on your donations. Thank you!
RCTC THEATRE PERMISSION FORMS: Thank you to those who have turned in their permission form and money to the Junie B. Jones play on Wednesday. If you have not turned in your permission form and money, please do so before Wednesday.
GMEF SILENT AND LIVE AUCTION: November 18th at Crazy Janes. The GM Second Graders will be donating a canvas picture which include our feet and a cute verse.
WINTER CLOTHING IS NEEDED: When snow is on the ground, students are asked to wear snow pants and boots for recess. Even if there is not snow on the ground, snow pants and boots are nice for warmth. Don’t forget the warm jacket, hat, gloves, and possibly a scarf to keep the cold air from going down our jackets. If second graders would like to keep a pair of boots and snow pants at home and another pair at school… they may.
