Original Works classroom fundraiser!

Dear Parents,

Your child should be bringing home a piece of artwork today that they created in class. Below is some information from Rachel Bush about “Original Works”.  We are really excited about this project and appreciate all the time she has put into this fundraiser.

What is Original Works? For 26 years, this company has been coordinating with schools to turn children’s art into keepsakes. You can choose from one or more of the following: key chains, magnets, mirrors, coasters, notebooks, tiles, mugs, tote bags, water bottles, cell phone covers, night lights, T-shirts, quilt block, mouse pads, note cards, pillowcases, journals, pot holders, matted prints, and decorative flags.

Who benefits from this fundraiser? When you order, the profit goes directly to your child’s classroom!

What should I do if my child completed more than one piece of art? Each piece of art needs its own order form. If you want to order multiple pieces of art, please get additional order forms from Rachael Bush.

What should my child do with their completed packets? Return the art, order form, and check payable to MMA to the school. There will be a table at the entrance ready for your orders.  PLEASE do NOT give money and order forms to teachers.

We ONLY accept checks! Please make them out to MMA and include them with your completed order form.

When are order forms due? By October 26th. Look for the Original Works table in the school’s entrance!

When will orders arrive? Original Works art keepsake(s) will be sent home on December 2nd.

What if my child didn’t finish their art at school? Your child can complete, add to, or even replace their art at home. Use 8½ x 11″ plain paper and color or paint. Please no glitter, pipe cleaners, googley eyes, or anything else that makes the art 3-D.

What if parents don’t want to order? You keep your child’s art!

If you have additional questions, please contact rachael.bush@gmail.com

New online reading program

Dear Parents,

We have started a new online reading program. I’m really excited about it! Each student will need to go to myon.com to log in. Their username is their SSID number. (I’m sending home an index card with each student’s number on it). The password is “books”. I’ve suggested that they keep the password the same, as it will be easier to help them login here if ever they need to.

When they first log in they will be asked to rate genres of books so the program can offer recommendations based on their personal preference. Then they will be autpmatically directed to a reading assessment. This will assess their level of reading and books will be generated to match their ability.

Please have your child read a minimum of 20 minutes every day. This is a program that I would like them to utilize at home as often as possible.

Thank you,
Ms. Krista
