Happy Thursday!

Dear Parents,
We are off to another great week in Room 205 at SVA!  Picture day went very well and pictures should be returned to those who ordered in a few weeks.  There are a few things I would like to share with you for this week:

  • Scholastic Book order forms will be coming home today.  If you would like to order, you may send in the paper form, or you can access my page on the Scholastic website at https://clubs2.scholastic.com where you can sign up for a parent account.  My classroom activation code is : GW6HR.  The online ordering is VERY user friendly and your child earns extra free gifts if the parent orders this way.  We are in desperate need of new books for our classroom and appreciate any orders!  We earn bonus points towards FREE books with each dollar spent!  Orders will be due on Friday September 18th.  Thank you!
  • Flyers went home yesterday explaining in detail the kick off to the Fall Festival Basket raffle items.  The Fall Festival will take place on Saturday October 3rd.  Our basket is titled "Breakfast Time.  Please see the form sent home or the attachment to this email.  Again, we greatly appreciate your support in making this a phenomenal fundraising event for our school!  I am also hoping for a parent volunteer to assemble and decorate our basket :)
  • Our first field trip to the farm will be taking place in the 2nd or 3rd week in October.  I am waiting on final confirmation from Kinman Farms in Burlington, and will share the date with you as soon as I can.  We will be asking for parent chaperones who are on the approved chaperone list.  If you are unsure, or would like to be added to the list, please contact the front office.
  • The 2nd Grade students at SVA will be taking Reading, Math and Language Arts MAP testing over the next two weeks.  Results will be shared with parents at Mid-Term Report time.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Miller
