PRINCIPAL’S PAWS
We've had an exciting week with many recognitions! Special thanks to
Publix who continues to help us provide student recognition in MANY areas
such as the Empty Cot Award and Safety Award. Thanks to Mr. Dave
Krambeck, our wonderful Kindergarten Dad with the Woodfruitticher Company
who has supplied us with many cookies for our Golden Spoon Award winning
classes for great lunchroom behavior. Our goal is to make positive
behavior an expectation and a "cool" thing so that all of our children will
want to be on their best behavior all the time. I would also like to thank
our Vineyard Publix for providing doughnuts and juice for our FCAT Saturday
sessions! We have many children spending extra time at school on Saturday
mornings to prepare for the big test. Also, special thanks to our many
teachers who are volunteering their time to help prepare students.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

miss you and hope you had a wonderful birthday.
ART NEWS
Attention 5th Grade Students: As we continue to study Ancient Greek culture
and the impact it has on our modern culture, art and architecture, you will
have a homework assignment. Our next project is to design a replica of
Greek Pottery. We will be using paper Mache’ and recycled containers.
Please bring to the art room;
2 liter empty soda or juice bottles
empty clean margerine tubs or microwave meal bowls
empty clean dishwasher detergent or bleachbottles
plastic lids from coffee cans, margerine tubs etc.
Each student needs only one bottle and a few of the other pieces. We will
start this project in two weeks. A note will be sent home as a reminder.

Congratulations to our winning clinic award classes. Ms. Blair’s class won
the Safety Award by having the least number of visits to the clinic for
