HOWELL PRIDE

Our carnival basket theme this year is "Howell Pride!" We thought it would be nice to support our town and have a basket that shows where we are from:) For those of you who do not know, every classroom compiles a basket (theme of their choice) to be raffled off the night of the carnival. All the money collected for each basket goes straight back into the classroom that made the basket. Tickets are $1 a piece and the winning ticket pulled gets to take the basket home! So please help us out by donating anything to do with Howell Pride! And don't forget to put some tickets in our basket the night of the carnival:) We are also in need of someone to donate the basket/item to house all the Howell gear we collect, so let me know if you are interested or if you find something fun that will work!

Any questions, please ask! Ms. Benear :)

Quick Reference

BLUE TAKE-HOME FOLDERS - Please remember to check your child's blue take-home folder each and every night. This folder will aide in becoming a vital line of communication between home and school.

SNACKS - Please feel free to send two healthy snacks with your child to school each day (morning and afternoon snack). As you know, growing children need proper diet and nutrition throughout the day in order to enhance brain function. Please keep in mind our students with allergies and send in peanut-free snacks!

WATER BOTTLES - Please send a water bottle to school with your child. Brain research shows that children need to drink a lot of water throughout the day. A perfect way for them to do so is to have a water bottle on their desk. Please only send a bottle with a flip top rather than a cap that twists on and off. Thank you for helping us minimize the risk of spills! :)

BOOK ORDERS - Interested in placing a book order for your child online rather than sending your book order and check to school? You can now do so at http://www.scholastic.com/bookclubs. Just remember you will need Ms. Benear's class activation code to set up your child's page. If you plan to send your book order to school and order books the traditional way, please be sure to send your order form along with your check payable to Scholastic Book Clubs in a sealed envelope clearly marked with your child's name on the front. CASH CANNOT BE ACCEPTED! Thank you! :)
