Today hotdog order forms were sent home. Today we got new Spelling words in the four Spelling groups. Remember to practice the words this week. We also worked on Science and started a new title page and did an outdoor activity. Today is a national reading day. Please remember to spend a little extra time reading today. Also, remember to get the chocolate forms returned and to get out and sell some chocolates. Have a great day.

Mr. Peterson

Picture proofs went home today.  You will need to bring them back before the end of the month.  Retakes should be happening around the 27th.  Stay tuned to announcements for retakes.  We had our French test, spelling test and math quiz today.  As many were away sick we will do make ups on all tests next week.  Chocolate sales have started.  If you want to take more home, please remember to bring back the note sent home yesterday stating:

Important information for parents of students planning to attend Camp Sagitawa:

Dear Parents:

Your child has an opportunity to sell World’s Finest Chocolates to raise money for Camp Sagitawa.  To pay their way to camp, each child needs to sell a minimum of 4 cases of the assorted gourmet chocolates.  All items will sell for only $3 each so each case of 25 items will return $75.  Parents are encouraged to supervise the selling or to ensure that the”buddy system” is employed for door-to-door sales.  You can also help by asking co-workers, family and friends to make a purchase.  Every sale helps!

This fundraiser is separate from the cookie dough sales.  Those are to raise money for other field trips and the proceeds from that are shared among all the school.  The chocolate sales are specifically for Camp Sagitawa.

Each participant is responsible for the products he or she takes to sell and for returning the $75 per case by the deadline given.  If it is possible to pre-pay for the chocolates, it would make it easier for the teachers so we don’t have to be debt collectors.  If pre-paying is not feasible, please collect the money and then send one cheque for the full amount so that we don’t spend hours counting loose change.  If sending a cheque is not feasible, please try to send cash instead of change –where possible.  Thanks for your consideration in this matter.

I would like my child to take home _____cases to sell.  I will be responsible to make sure the money is brought back by the date below.  Please send a signed note each time your child is permitted to take subsequent cases of chocolates to sell.
