Weekly update

We had an awesome fun run! Thank you so much for supporting our school and classroom! It was great to see so many parents out there today. Your child has an envelope and/or a letter explaining your child’s pledge account. We start collecting the funds on Monday if not already paid online. We will continue to collect pledges next week.

 

Because of your generosity, we earned pajama day and popsicles. Please have your child wear pajamas to school on Monday. I provide the popsicles. J Monday is also Eclipse day. We will be dismissing @3. We will be viewing the eclipse virtually in the cafeteria.

 

Homework went home today with a due date of Friday. This also includes the baggy books. If your child brought in their books today they have new ones for the week. Reading the baggy books in on the 5 star homework. I’ve attached it to this email and it will be also available on my blog.

 

Next week:

Writing- Narratives

Math- Interpret data

Phonics- L-family blends

I will be finishing up assessments in sight words this week. Look for individual sight words to come home with the homework next Friday.

 

Thank you again for sharing your child with me!

I hope you have a great weekend.

Boosterthon

Dear Parents,

Our Kennesaw Elementary School Fun Run kicked off yesterday with an exciting Pep Rally, and we are thrilled about this year’s program! We’ve asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run program (which will last about two weeks), making our fundraising simpler, more profitable, and more fun. Our Fun Run includes EVERY student in a fun, fitness event while helping our school raise much-needed funds.

This year, our entire school is raising funds to enhance your students’ educational experience at Kennesaw. Our goal is to raise $18,000, and we need YOUR help!

Here’s how you can support Kennesaw Elementary:

  • Register your student on funrun.com using this code: 871-593. Once you do, your student will receive a FREE GIFT just for being registered. Then, use funrun.com to log pledges for your child.
  • Reach out to sponsors. Every student’s goal is to connect with 10 sponsors. And with funrun.com’s smart sharing features, reaching out to sponsors is easier than ever. The easiest way to get pledges is to simply click the Facebook share button on your student’s pledge page. Plus, with a few clicks you can create a custom Student Star video to share on social media. You can also use the Easy Emailer to connect with friends and family. As you gather pledges, be sure to record each sponsor’s e-mail address so they have the opportunity to easily pay for your student’s pledge online via credit card.
  • Ask your child about the Castle Quest Character Lesson of the day! This year’s character program is Castle Quest, a castle theme all about bravery. On their quest to regain Bravemore Castle, students will learn the “SIX VIRTUES of a TRUE HERO” from a cast of colorful characters. Join along by watching the fun character videos with your child on funrun.com.
  • Come to the Fun Run on Friday, August 18th! All students are included in the Fun Run, regardless of financial participation. Remember, students will be running 30-35 laps, and we would love for you to come out and cheer!

Thank you for supporting our school. We hope to see you next week at the Fun Run!

 

Sincerely,

Kennesaw Elementary PTA
