Library Mrs. Woodard, Librarian

Library time is more than just a story

time; just as the library is more than a

warehouse for books. Every class visit

is planned in order to make sure

all students learn a variety of skills in

order to make the best use of the li-

brary and become lifelong informa-

tional seekers.

Students visit the library every week

with their homeroom class. They are

allowed to borrow one library book a

week. Borrowing will be suspended

until due books are returned or paid

for.

Dear Parents,

Third grade will be starting our fundraising efforts. Our

goal is raise enough money that all of our students may take part in

our field trips and learning experiences at no cost. We have planned

several field trips for the year. Our first will be to the Cushing’s Zoo

on November 21, 2014. The average cost per child is about $7 and

we have about (124) 3rdgraders this year.

Starting on October 13th, our 3rd grade team will begin selling treat

bags. We are asking parents to donate a box fruit snacks (Sour

Punch, Gushers, Gummy Hamburger… etc. preferably from Cost-u-

Less. These items are GDOE approved.) Each treat bag costs $1. As

payments AND orders forms are received, treat bags will be sent

home with the student to fill the orders they gathered. We will also

be selling after school.

We thank you for your support as we strive to make these learning

experiences available to all of our students.

Thank you,

3rd Grade Team
