Hello parents,
Here are the important points for this week.
*We are in big need of see-through 2-liter bottles. We will be making our terrariums this upcoming Tuesday (11.8.16). The more bottles we get, the smaller the groups will be for the students to get more hands-on experience. I currently only have one bottle. We need two for every terrarium, so please send as many of those as you can.
*Human Growth and Development will be taught Monday and Tuesday, November 21st, 22nd, 28th, and 29th. Wake County observes passive consent for teaching Human Growth and Development. If you would prefer to not have your child participate in the Human Growth and Development curriculum for 5th grade please let me know before November 21st.
*Washington DC rooming lists are being finalized and will be sent home on Monday. We tried as best we could to put students in rooms with people they requested to room with. We also had to consider number of female and male chaperones.
*Yesterday I handed out information about an optional essay students may write. We will choose one student from our class to participate in the honor of laying the wreath at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. If your child would like to be considered for that honor, those essays are due next Wednesday (11.9.16).
*Next Tuesday (11.8.16) is election day. Due to expected lines at the polls, Wake County will be operating on a two-hour delay.
*We are in need of more volunteers for this Sunday's Fall Festival. Please see below for information regarding that festival.
Come out and celebrate fall with our school's first Fall Festival Sunday, November 6th from 2-5pm. We will have fun fall related games and crafts, a face painter and a magic show ($5)! Come out and enjoy a catered pork barbecue/chicken dinner and beverage ($10/adult and $5/child 12 and under) with friends and family from 3-5pm. Payments/reservations for the show and/or dinner must be made online at http://pueschool.corecommerce.com by Tuesday, November 1st. We will need lots of helping hands to make this a successful event. If you are able to volunteer for an hour (or more 😉 ) during the event, please use the SignUpGenius. We look forward to celebrating Fall with you!! Hope to see you there! Questions? Please contact Heather Wilson at heatherandmckenna@yahoo.com or Michele Adams at adamsmca@yahoo.com.
*Next Thursday is Pleasant Union's Patriotic night at 6:30pm. More information to come on that.
*Next Friday (11.11.16) is Veterans Day. There will be no school next Friday due to that national holiday.
As always if you have any questions or concerns please contact me.
Thank you.
