We had a wonderful Read Across America Week filled with costumes, colors, and great books. We were lucky enough to use a few books to guide us through the week, with each of them tying into the theme of the day as well. This week always means so much to us a educators, and we hope it means just as much to you.

Our supply of extra clothing is rapidly diminishing! If you could please send your student in with extra clothes should they get wet, that would be greatly appreciated. If you are looking to donate any clothing items to our supply, we are in need of:

• New Socks of all sizes are also needed, as we have had lots of wet feet!

Please continue to send in all physical exam forms, as well as COVID and Flu shot documentation so I can update your child’s medical records here at school. Also, please note that Pool Testing samples are collected first thing Tuesday mornings. If you bring in a sample later than 10 am, it may not be sent out to be tested.

Finally, please continue to routinely check the AWRSD website for the most current information related to COVID 19 protocols COVID 19 Health Services Page If you have any questions about quarantine and isolation, please reach out to me for guidance.

March 9, Half-day of school

On Wednesday, March 9th the PTA will host a Staff Appreciation Lunch where a variety of delicious soups, salads, and other dishes (plus treats) will be served. We are currently seeking volunteers and donations to show our appreciation for the hard work that the JR Briggs staff does all year!

Alternatively, if you prefer to not make or purchase an item for the event, but would like to help out with a monetary contribution you may do so by going to jrb-pta.org/staff-lunch or scanning the QR code to the right.
