Room Parent Message Board - 1-Ms. Wolt

Hello everyone, 

It's still cold but at least the sun is out! This Saturday is the Poe Auction! It is an adults only party and the biggest fundraiser of the year! Please take a look at some of the awesome things you can bid on online and in person! https://poepto.membershiptoolkit.com/auction There are several fixed price social events that you can win or scroll through some of the silent auction or check out the live auction previews. Who would want to be principal for a day? 

All Day Art is around the corner, and please sign in if you would like to donate to help with supplies! https://poepto.membershiptoolkit.com/packet/214830977

Thank you! Merriann

End of the year class party, update

Parents are welcome as long as they are VIPS approved. Party starts at 1:30. 

End of the year class party!

Hi everyone! I forgot a detail about the class party. Please have your child wear as many colors as possible and it will be a talent show or show and tell. Their choice. 

Thank you!

Getting ready to wrap up the year!

Thanks to everyone who signed up for snacks for the end of the year class party! 

We are not doing a group gift for Ms. Wolt, but if you would like to show your appreciation, gift cards are welcome! I have included her favorite things list as an attachment. You may want to consider a note, card, or drawing from your child with a memory or appreciation of something they learned this year from Ms. Wolt. 

This is from me, Merriann, this is been a great start to a new school and new group of friends! I can't wait to see all of the talents or important things during show and tell at the end of the year party. We will be around this summer if you would like to connect. I have photos from Field day and I will send them to Ms. Wolt to share, since I don't have some of the contact information for everyone. 

End of The Year Party

Hi Families,

Our end of the year class party is on June 3rd at 1:30 pm. To make things fun and easy, we are doing things a little different this time around. For our party we will be doing a mini talent show. Each student will have about 5 mins to share their special talent with the entire class. Please don't feel any pressure. Your student can simply bring something for show and tell also. We are also encouraging everyone to dress that day in as many colors as possible to match our "hello summer" class party. We also need some supplies for the party. If you can contribute, please sign up for a sot below. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Thank you so much!

FIELD DAY TOMORROW!

Hello everyone!

Just a friendly reminder that Field Day is tomorrow, 5/29! 

Students will wear their field day shirts tomorrow, Which they will change into at school. Please send them in their regular uniforms to school. 

Also, please pack a dry change of clothes (including socks!), as they’ll be getting wet, along with some extra snacks and a water bottle with their name labeled. Please make sure you label the bag with their change of clothes. 

Who's ready for a fun day??

Best,

Madeeha 

Teacher Appreciation Week

The kids did a great job on E-I-E-I-Opps! I saw many potential stars being born that night. 

I hope everyone is enjoying May the 4th Be With You today! Tomorrow is Cinco De Mayo and the beginning of Teacher Appreciation Week! 

PTO will provide lunches, breakfasts, and snacks to celebrate all of the Poe teachers in this year's Hollywood theme. They are also collecting funds for teacher appreciation week to be able to give each teacher a cash gift. Here is the link if you would like to donate, https://poepto.membershiptoolkit.com/packet/18920

A few of Ms. Wolt's favorite things are Twix, Kit Kats, coffee, Red Velvet cake, Dahlia's, Chipotle, Torchy's, Target, Lakeshore Learning, Amazon, and more. Please feel free to check her Amazon wish list for ideas. I spoke with some of the other parents about donating to an end of the year gift for Ms. Wolt. Please contact myself or Madeeha for more information. 

Don't forget to log those reading hours! Read A Thon on Saturday the 10th. Ms. Wolt said that an end of Read A Thon celebration would be fine on Friday the 9th. I suggested chips and nut free cookies. I can bring some and if anyone else would like to contribute, please let me know. Or if someone would like to create a Sign Up Genius that would be great. I figure any extras can be class snacks.

Thank you all. Merriann

Hello everyone! Where does the time go? I hope you are all doing well. 

A few quick updates. There was a water leak before the winter break, and thanks to several parents for reaching out, we have this long weekend scheduled for repairs! The loose titles will be replaced.

Thank you everyone that signed up to bring snacks for the class! We will need more volunteers soon. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A48AFA92AA7F4C52-54323386-classroom/64458035#/
