Check Out This Week's Newsletter
The Jan 24 edition of the newsletter will be sent home in Tuesday folders. There is a lot of information in there, so be sure to check it out.
School on Friday, Jan 27
Just a reminder that there IS school on Friday, Jan 27. Originally, this was a Teacher Work Day, but now it is a make up day because of the January snow.
Next PTA Meeting is Tuesday, Feb 7
Our next PTA meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb 7 at 6:30pm. It will be followed by the 2nd grade concert in the gym. The instruments for this performance were created during the recent Cultural Arts program with Billy Jonas. It will be interesting to see how the second graders took recycled materials to make these instruments. This Cultural Arts workshop was possible because of your Fun Run donations and support of the PTA.
Swift Creek Night at Jumpstreet Trampoline Park, Thurs, Feb 23
In your Tuesday folder, you should also receive a flyer for Swift Creek night at Jumpstreet Trampoline Park. This is something new we are trying this year. Another opportunity to build community but this time with some activity involved! Our night is scheduled for Thursday, Feb 23. Students have a two hour window (5pm-7pm) in which to show up and get a 2-hour jump session. (So essentially we have the place until 9:00pm). $2.00 of each admission between 5-7pm will go to the school.

Co-chair for the Fun Run
If you have any interest in any of these positions, please let me know.
Magnet Application Period Open Until Jan 31
Just a reminder that if you are looking at magnet schools, the application period ends on Jan 31. See the Wake County Schools website for more information.
Yes, We Will Have a Spring Fling
I heard that some people were concerned that we wouldn't have a Spring Fling this year. Rest assured that we are working to get a date on the calendar. Ms. Graves already has ideas for how to make it another fun day. So stay tuned!
I hope you have a great week!!! If you need anything, please let me know.
