Next Week In M3...

Happy Friday! I made a mistake on the homework this week- the kids are not responsible for doing the "Friday" homework. Sorry, the short week threw me off.

Reminders & Annoucements:
- Our first Scholastic order should be here this afternoon. I will send home the orders on Monday. Our next order will be submitted on 9/21
- Monday is picture day! Our picture time is first thing in the morning so please send your child in the clothes you want them to wear in their photo. If needed, I will allow them to change after the picture.
- Movie night is tonight at the K-1 campus
- Support The Pride is going on now! Help Springer reach his crown to support our amazing school!
- Fall Festival is October 7th. You can buy tickets on the PTA website
- Please be sure to send back your kiddos permission slip for our performing arts field trip. We've got some time but I'd like to get them all as soon as possible.
- We will be hosting a parent math night in October. Stay tuned for details!
