News You Can Use!

Happy Monday! Here's the lastest news from the 5th grade Beach Brains!

Coats for Kids
Hundreds of children in our area will be without adequate clothing in the upcoming winter months. You can make a difference in their lives by donating new or gently-used coats to keep them warm. You may bring in your donations to the school at any time. There will be collection bins to drop off your donations.

Standards-based Grading
Dr. Chastain will be sending home an informational brochure about our standards-based grading system this upcoming Friday, 10/11. We hope this will answer some of our questions before conference time. Speaking of which, if you have not signed up for a Parent/Teacher conference with me, please do so at your earliest convenience using our online sign up sheet.

Half Day - 10/11
Just a reminder that this upcoming Friday, 10/11 is a half day. Students will be dismissed at 12:30pm.

Fundraiser Info
Please send in your fundraising order forms and money to school on Thursday, 10/10. This is the very last day for the fundraiser. Students earning prizes will receive them at a later date, once fundraising orders have been verified and processed.

We're Collecting...
We're collecting Box Tops for Education as well as Little Cesar's box tops. You may send them to school with your child at any time.

From the PTA
We're enlisting 5th and 6th graders to help with a book bingo game at the Chili Cook Off in November. A flier went home last week with the information. If your child is interested in helping to run the game, please return the form you received by Wednesday, October 9th.

That's all I have for now. Thank you for your support and please feel free to e-mail me at any time with your questions and concerns!

Mr. B
