Fire Safety

Fire Safety
October 21st, 2011

Last week Anderson Fire Department came to visit with the students about fire safety. They talked with the students about the importance of fire safety and what to do if there is a fire. The students then got a chance to go outside and look at the fire trucks. They even turn on the lights and sirens for them! Here are some pictures from their visit.



Thanks Anderson Fire Department!

Announcements and Reminders

Third Grade Won!!!!
Third grade won 1st prize in our hall decorating contest for reading week.  Thank you to all the kiddos who worked so hard on their writing and astronauts.  We've decided to keep all the decorations up for Parent Teacher Conferences so you can see all the fun things the kiddos did.

Bully Busters
We have an awesome Bully Buster program at our school.  It is headed up by our own Assistant Principal, Tom Henry.  Students are not allowed to become Bully Busters until they are in third grade.  Forms were sent home over a week ago for you and your child to look at.  You do not need to buy a t-shirt to be a Bully Buster.  There's still time...if you would still like to become a Bully Buster and need another form please let us know and we will send a new one home.

Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences will take place Tuesday, October 25th from 4-8pm and October 27th from 8am-12pm.  If you have not chosen a time for your Parent Teacher Conference, please do so soon.  Spots are filling up quickly.  If neither of those days will work for you, please feel free to contact us and we can make other arrangements.  We will be sending out confirmation letter with your day and time next week.  We will try our best to accomodate everyone's needs.

Parents Plus Meeting
Please join us, Wednesday, October 12th at 4pm for our 2nd Parents Plus meeting this year.  Your support and help would mean so much to us!
