Newsletter Art

This year we have started a new contest where our students get to submit art to be used as the banner on the newsletter. Last months winning submission (the costumes) was from Olivia in Mrs. Waddoups class. We were also blessed to be able to use Kions art work depicting Happy Fall (also Mrs. Waddoups) on the second page as a break between articles. Here they are again for your enjoyment!

Each grade has a chance to participate. First grade winner will be highlighted in the Nov newsletter. Each month submissions are due on the first Monday and the PTA votes during their month meeting that Wednesday. Everyone is welcome to the PTA meetings.

School Directories

All School Directories should have gone home already. If you did not pre-order one and would still like one, they can be bought at the school office for $3.00.

Family Fun night

Family fun night is at Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center tonight. A flyer should have gone home earlier this week with the students. For more information you can contact the Rec Center.

Have Fun.

Smiths Earn & Learn = free money!

Smiths gives $1,000,000 - that's right 6 zero's- to schools every year.

Every time you use your fresh values card the points are used as credit. Our schools percentage of the 1 million dollars is based on spending and purchases made by participants that have enrolled their Smiths Value Card as compared to other schools total purchases - but the enrollment expires each year. Any enrollments after 6/1/2010 will be valid until Sept of 2011. All other enrollments expired on 9/30/2010- so if you enrolled this past March - you need to re-enroll.

Points used toward Earn and Learn do not affect other points you may be earning such as fuel or photo points so there's no reason not to sign up. Better yet, make sure you are enrolled before all that Holiday shopping.


For more information pick up the Smith's flyer at school.

Now, go have fun spending!

Reading the Days Away

We are starting "Reading the Days Away!" This is a PTA sponsored program to encourage READING. Currently, every student is "required" to read 15-20 minutes a night for their teachers. This program will track these minutes and hopefully, encourage even more reading.

Every month, teach er will turn in their class minute totals and they will be converted into reading 'days' (24 hrs = 1 day). Watch the board in the front hallway to see how your contribution is helping your class to reach 100 days. Any class that reaches 100 days of reading throughout the year will be invited to a special party at the end of the year. So find some good books and let the fun begin!
