Copper Beech Parent Update
Week of February 5, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Copper Beech Families,
It is hard to believe that it is already February, and we are quickly approaching the 100th day of school! This means we are already about halfway through the year. We have accomplished so much this year, yet there is still much work to do. Students have grown so much already, and I'm looking forward to seeing how much our children continue to grow and make academic gains during this second half of the school year.
Thank you for everything you do to work with our administration, teachers, and staff to support the success of our children each day!
Best,
Ms. Stokes
Pizza Party Winners from Ms. Allen's 1st Grade Class!
One of our C.B. C.A.R.ES. raffle prizes this past week was a pizza party with Ms. Stokes and Ms. Doctor. Ms. Gallagher stopped by for the fun too! We enjoyed spending time and talking with these students during lunch this past week.
📢Important Information
- After School Clubs: All clubs have been finalized and Coordinators have emailed all attendees with information on their club. Clubs start the week of February 5th immediately after school and pick up is 4:15PM. Please make sure to communicate with your child's teacher and coordinator if your child is not able to participate in the club. Clubs are organized by volunteers so we appreciate your patience as we work to bring these fun activities to the students. If you have any questions, please email aclark@copperbeechpta.com
Coming Soon Random Acts of Kindness Day (February 20) Your child will participate in activities to learn and show different ways they can be kind to others.
Black History Month takes place throughout the month of February. Throughout this month, we will be celebrating the accomplishments of black leaders and history-makers..
Bully Prevention: The theme for February is kindness. If you spot students being kind, be sure to praise them.
