PTA Sponsored Parent Education Night.doc

Good Evening Grizzlies, this is Mrs. Huff with the Willow Grove weekly update.


LOVE AND LOGIC- ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT UNTIL THIS EXCITING EVENT ON THURSDAY, SEPT. 11TH!
Only 4 days left until our parent education night- “Parenting with Love & Logic!” Please join us this Thursday, September 11th, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. as Dr. Charles Fay, leading author of parenting books, provides time tested strategies and tools that support parents in raising children who are self-confident, motivated, and ready for the real world! Love and Logic is the foundation for Willow Grove’s school-wide Positive Behavior Support Plan. A big thank you to our PTA for sponsoring this event!!! Please see the attached flyer for more information and details about signing up to attend this exciting learning opportunity.

PARENT INFORMATION FOR 4th GRADE SACRAMENTO TRIP
An informational meeting for parents of fourth graders regarding our Sacramento Trip will be on Tuesday, September 16th, in room B-4! If you are interested in this optional trip, please plan on attending at 8:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. Both meetings will have the same information so pick the time that is most convenient for you.

SEND IN YOUR BOXTOPS!!!
Did you know each Box top earns 10 cents for the school? If you think that’s not worth it, think again. Last year we earned over $1,000 just from turning in those little Box tops. So if you have been saving your Box tops all summer now is the time to turn them in! Please bring your Box tops to the office collection box and be sure that you've labeled your bag/envelope with your name or teacher name so your class gets the credit. 

PICTURE DAY IS COMING!!!
Picture Days are Thursday, September 18th, and Friday, September 19th. Your teacher will let you know which day your child’s class will be taking pictures. Purchasing information will be coming home soon. Please have your child bring your package purchase envelope on their picture day.
