Weekly Newsletter for October 17-21, 2011

Hello, parents!  I hope you enjoyed your fall break last week!  As we move into fall, we have lots of exciting things planned.  Below are a few of them, as well as some reminders.

• On Wednesday, Oct. 19^th, TPS will be having a special Halloween snack.  The cost if $2 if you wish to participate.
• Second great is going on a thrilling field trip to the Bobby Miller Center to watch the Raptor Trek performance.  Magnificent birds of prey will be showing off their feathers, as well as some impressive hunting skills.  This trip costs $5, and it is well worth the money!  We will be studying owls in science that week, and the Raptor Trek show will provide some invaluable learning moments for your student.
• Report cards go home on Friday.  Please remember to sign and return the envelope.  If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
• Friday is Career Day!  The second graders at TPS will have the opportunity to meet people within our community with various jobs and careers.  This is always a fun day.  If your child would like to dress up as their favorite career, that would be great.  But please no Halloween costumes.
• I know this time of the year is so busy with extra curricular activities, but please make sure you are still reading with your child every night and checking their planner for homework.  Lately we have been having a problem with remembering to do and bring homework to school.  Please make sure you are helping your child succeed in this area.
