2016 is Underway

 
We hope 2016 is off  to a great start for you and your family!  Since we've returned from Christmas break we have begun third quarter and are back into a regular routine making the most of every moment we have here at school.  

4th-6th Grade Math Competition
We have 24 students participating in the Missouri Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM) math competition on Saturday, January 30th.  The competition is from 8 AM - 1 PM at Brookside Charter.  Much thanks to Ms. Beilharz for arranging this opportunity for our students and to our students who are eager to participate.
 
Hooray for the USA & 5th Grade Presidents' Celebration
We look forward to seeing you at these culminating events!  First grade guests are invited to join us in the North Multi-purpose Room at 9:15 on Thursday, February 4th to meet several famous Americans.  Fifth grade guests are invited to join us in the North Multi-purpose Room at 2:30 on Wednesday, February 10 to hear all about our Nation's leaders and to see the students' hard work.  We look forward to seeing second grade guests at "Destination Asia" on Friday, March 11 in the North Multi-purpose Room.  The exact time will be announced once we get closer to the event but it will be shortly after All School Chapel that morning.  

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Breakfast
The entire school community is invited to join us as our 8th grade class and their parents host this year's Shrove Tuesday Pancake Breakfast.  The breakfast is Tuesday, February 9th from 7 AM- 8AM, and for $5 the eighth graders will be serving pancakes, breakfast casserole, orange juice, and coffee in the North Multi-purpose Room.

Save the Date!
Drs. Kevin & Natashia Bergert Present on Safe Technology Usage
You won't want to miss this informative presentation by two local pediatricians who are passionate about helping parents and children navigate technology usage. 
There will be two presentations the evening of Tuesday, February 23rd.  One presentation will be geared for parents whose children are in kindergarten through third grade and the second presentation will be geared for parents whose children are in fourth grade and above.  We are currently working on specific times and will share those once we have confirmation.  Both presentations will take place in the North Multi-purpose room. We hope you will join us to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity!

Valentine's Parties
Valentine's parties will be held the afternoon of Friday, February 12th.  First and second grade parties will be from 2-3 PM and third, fourth, and fifth grade parties will be from 2:30-3:15.  Thanks to all of the room parents and parent volunteers who make these parties possible!

Wine in the Vine
If you are currently a parent of a third grade student it's not too late to purchase a ticket for this year's Wine in the Vine celebration.  This is an auction item donated by the third, fourth, and fifth grade teachers  where parents are invited to spend an evening partaking in food, drink, and festivities within the third grade rainforest.  If you are interested in purchasing tickets please contact Katie Wiedwald or Cindy Wissinger.  The event is Thursday, February 25th from 6-7:30 PM.
