We are looking forward to seeing what wonderful books students will read for our Mayo Read-A-Thon. Click here for Read-A-Thon FAQ!

PTA BOOK FAIR & COIN DRIVE

Starting tomorrow, March 11th-15th, we will be collecting coins for our Book Fair Coin Drive. This coin drive supports our school library. There will be buckets for coin collection in the school lobby, if we raise $500 the students will earn a cardboard day in April. Our Book Fair runs from March 18th-22th. Students will be coming to Book Fair with their classes to shop for books during their library time. We will also hold two Family Shopping Events, March 20th 5pm-8pm and March 22 5pm-8pm. This event would not be possible without the help of our amazing parent volunteers! There are volunteer sign up slots for each class to help the students shop as well as running the cash registers, set-up and clean up. An active Cori form is required to volunteer. Here's the link to sign up! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A48ADAF28A2FF2-48331686-mayo#/

Please see attachments for more information on the coin drive, book fair, e-wallets, as transferring funds from a previous book fair.

Thanks so much for your help!

What a great first session of our Lego club for our grades 3-5 last Thursday! "Together We Build," is an inclusive LEGO club, which fosters collaboration among our diverse student population and celebrates varied abilities within our community. We are lucky to have the pilot program begin at Mayo Elementary with the theme, "Lego Landscapers, Shaping Our Shared Spaces."

Unfortunately we are at capacity and can not admit any additional students at this time. We will revisit the possibility of offering it again.

Students have been notified what section they are in and when they will be attending

The Kitchen Staff is asking parents to please talk to your child about their lunch choice. We have had some problems in the kitchen with students choosing and ordering one lunch choice the morning, but taking something else in the cafeteria, leaving the last few grades without the options they ordered. Thank you!

Please remind your child(ren) about maintaining safe behaviors on the school bus. We have had an uptick in behaviors since our return from winter break. There is detailed information in the Mayo Handbook (link at bottom of SMORE) but here is some basic info pertaining to our biggest safety concerns. Students must:

• Remain in his/her seat when the bus is moving
  
• Restrict his/her talking to those children who are sitting next to him/her. Shouting will distract the bus driver
• Not use inappropriate language
• Not fight-bully-tease others on the bus.

We appreciate your help keeping our bus rides safe!

Here are general Guidelines for when your child is sick.
