School Supply Drop Off and Ice Cream Social:

WooHoo Cart Donations:
We are starting a fun snack cart for teachers this year. Mrs. Treinen or Erika will be taking the cart out weekly- unplanned- just when teachers need a pick me up! We will take donations throughout the year- snacks, sweets, drinks, or any fun items you think would bring a smile to the teachers' faces! Please drop off donations to Mrs. Treinen's office and if I am not there- just mark it with "cart". Thank you so much for your help!

*Mrs. Treinen is working with Ms. Zoe for the celebration for students entering 3rd grade this year! I'll be in touch with those that turn in their Reading Log and/or Workbook.

I am excited to see how everyone did this summer! I have heard from a few Miner Bee Families and we have had a lot of reading and math going on this summer!

*If you did not use your workbook this summer, please return it to school so we can recycle it! Thank you!
