Super-Hero Book Fair!

This week was a HUGE success!! With your help, we sold over $5,000!!! This was the biggest and best book fair Alta Vista has ever had! Thank you so much for all you did! On Monday we had a door decorating contest. A big congrats goes to Mrs. Bain, Mrs. Whiteley, Mrs. Howard, and Mrs. Fontenot's class. They won for their grade level! Great job guys!! On Tuesday, we said "Hi" to many of you at Open House. It was great to see you, and thanks for visiting the Book Fair while you were here. On Wednesday, we got to see many parents and grandparents at lunch! We couldn't believe how many people showed up on such short notice. It was a fantastic sight to see!! On Thursday, we got to meet a few community heros. We met a soldier and two EMS workers. A HUGE "Thank you" goes out to all of our community heroes- "Thank you for you've done and all you do!!" Friday was a super surprise for our students. Teachers were asked to dress up as heroes. Some dressed up as community heroes and some as super-heroes. Yours Truly (along with Mrs. Whiteley, Mrs. Howard, and Mrs. Glockzen) dressed up as "Super-Teachers") We had the whole get-up on, and I'm proud to say I taught the whole day in my costume! Here's a little glimpse of what I looked like (in case you didn't get to see me in the family parent pick-up line).

Book Fair!

This week is the week of the fabulous Book Fair! This is your child's chance to purchase that old time favorite or new and exciting read. The Book Fair has much more than books, too. They have posters, kits, pens, pencils, and other fun accessories! Every purchase helps our school raise money so that we can continue to get better and bigger things to help your child and make their learning experience extraordinary! If we reach our goal, we will get to slime Mrs. Hicks!! Let's start shopping!!! :)

Check out this link to get a closer look at some of the books you can find at the book fair: Reading Saves the Day!

Responsibility

We are looking for students showing off this month's character trait of Responsibility! Remind your children what it means to be responsible and ways to show off your responsiblity in your work, with friends, at school, and at home. If your child does something that shows great responsibility, leave a comment and let us know what they did! Having great character makes us great people! Show off that responsibility this month and for the rest of your life!!!
