Research Future Travel Destinations Together

If your family is thinking about taking a trip, involve your child in learning about the places you might visit. Together, look the places up on globes, maps and online. Check out some travel books from the library. Help your child look online for a newspaper from an area you may visit. Or visit an area Chamber of Commerce website to find out more about attractions and request brochures.

Help your child find out about the history of some places you may go through on your journey. Did famous battles occur nearby? What famous people came from the country, state or city where you will be? Learn about other things, too. What's the population of the places you'll visit? What is the official bird and flower?

Having your child do a little research before taking a trip will make the experience more interesting for all of you when it actually happens.

Birthday Wishes in Big Lights!

This year we will continue to implement and expand our PBIS program school-wide. The goal of this program is to not only notice positive behavior, but also to reward that behavior. You can help support the funding of this program, and wish your child a happy birthday on our school marquee at the same time. It's a win-win! For a $10 contribution, a Happy Birthday message along with your child's first name and last initial will be displayed on our marquee for three days during the week of your child's birthday. Summer birthday? Not a problem, We will display summer birthday messages during the last week of school and during their birthday week. NOTE: Your child's name will be displayed on their birth date as well as the day immediately before and after. Orders can be placed via Mypaymentsplus.com under the School Events tab. Please note, requests will be processed the next business day.

Also, new this year, we have added the option for parents to purchase ICEES for their child's class as a birthday treat. In addition to saving you a trip to drop off treats, these ICEES are free from most common allergens, which means everyone can enjoy them! The cost to purchase ICEES for every student in your child's class is $30 and all proceeds benefit our BEARS (PBIS) program. You can purchase them in advance on MyPaymentsPlus. ICEES will be distributed on your child's birthday during lunch, or the day prior/after if it falls on a non school-day.
