We love STC because ... Index cards were taped in to the Homework copybooks on Friday.  Please complete to enter in to a drawing for a Valentine's basket including a $25 Target gift card.  Return cards to school when finished. Thanks for your cooperation and support of our school!

We need your help - our class needs more Botley robots: everyone has had a turn but with one robot and 24 kiddos it takes a while to do so.  With this in mind we are going to use the upcoming postcard drive to purchase more robots.  The information is coming home in a Reading for Education packet on Monday.  If your child returns the booklet completed with 11 postcards they will earn a small backpack stuffie and these postcards will help us earn money towards the robots.  If you don't want to do the postcards we are also accepting donations made out to STC, your child will also receive a backpack stuffie.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

State of the School Address - led by Fr. Brandt & Ms Dixon is this Wednesday 1/16 at 7 pm, all parents are encouraged to attend.  The meeting is held in Room 208.

Water Bottles - to alleviate students meandering to the water fountain during important instruction please send a small reusable water bottle in to school with your child.  Make sure their name is on it and the top is leak proof.  They will keep these water bottles in their lockers and can visit their locker for a drink when needed so they can still maintain their attention to the classroom. This change is another positive step towards helping students in addition to the note Ms Dixon wrote about our restroom improvements.
