Oh the weather outside is frightful…..unless of course you like to play in the snow!
Winter Gear
Please make sure to label all winter gear with your child’s name. We have a lot of black snowpants and they are getting mixed up when kids are taking them off in the hallway.
Shoes
Please send shoes to school each day. It is important that your child wear SHOES he/she CAN DO INDEPENDENTLY! If your child hasn’t learned to tie laces, please send him/her with velcro or slip-on shoes instead.
Change of Clothes
Your child’s extra change of clothes was sent home on Friday. Please return the bag with clothing that is more appropriate for the season and return it to school ASAP. We do have more accidents in the winter as kids get busy playing and forget to listen to their bodies.
We had 10 kids (out of 23…some absent) not bring back their library books today. We have library every Monday. Please find a system that works for your family so we can get library books returned on time.
Alward Elementary
Santa Shop
It’s that time of year again! Alward’s Santa Shop will take place December 12 and 14 in the library of school. Gifts range in price from $1 to $5. Please send your child to school with their shopping money in an envelope, as well as the list on the back of this form filled out, on their designated shopping day (see list below). Cash or checks are accepted but should be made out to Alward PTC. Gifts will be wrapped and sent home that day with the students. We have gifts for kids through adults (there may be some pet items, but supplies will be limited). Shopping time for each student is approximately 5-7 minutes each so please limit the amount of people on their shopping list to allow for that time frame.
We go on Thursday!
All book gifts need to be turned in by Wednesday, December 20th! We are learning about the spirit of giving and being thankful!
