Greetings Families,

I am planning on having some Earth Day Stations on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22. For this to be successful, I am asking for parent volunteers to assist with these stations. We will be completing the stations from 8:30-10:00. Complete directions for each station will be provided. Any parent interested must have a current volunteer application on file. If you need to check if you have one on file, just ask me. Also, only the parent may come in to assist.

I'm hoping to make this a fun day for the students.

Thanks,
Jon

Important Dates

Kick off day: Monday, March 10, 2025

Turn in day (Order forms and money due to school): Monday, March 24, 2025

Delivery day: April 22, 2025 from 2-5 p.m. at Greenbriar Elementary

The Homework Menu is sent home each Monday, and it is due by Friday (signed) each week. Each week your child will select and complete eight activities on the menu. The menu is the same for the entire month so a bit of encouragement may be needed to pick different activities. It is ok to place an X or your initials on the activities chosen to keep track of what they have done. Please sign the menu at the bottom. If a child completes his/her homework and returns the menu, then they will be entered into the Homework Lottery to earn Dojo Points. You may keep the practice at home or return it to school. The homework isn't graded it is for the practice and family interaction. Periodically students will have spelling words to practice. Remember you can complete the book borrowing sheet and your child will bring home some books at their reading level. The books can be returned at anytime during the week or on Fridays.
