A Note From Mrs. Looman
- Mark your calendars! Our Winter Concert will be taking place on Wednesday, Dec. 20th from 2-3 pm. All classrooms will be performing songs they have been working on in music class.
- Be sure to see the information below about the upcoming PTO Cookie Walk and Children's Shopping Room.
- We have the privilege of having author and illustrator, Marty Kelley, visit on Dec. 21st. Each class will get the opportunity to meet with him and learn more about his writing process, hear some of his work, and see how he goes from an idea to a published book. Marty has visited with us in the past and he is always super engaging and a LOT of fun! There will be an opportunity for families to order books if they would like, so keep an eye out for the order form. If you'd like to learn more about him, please visit his website https://www.martykelley.com/
PTO News
- The children’s shopping room will take place in the art room on Friday, December 15th from 3-7pm. All items are $0.25 and includes free gift wrapping. We recommend that you make a list for your child with the names of people they are shopping for. Children must be accompanied by an adult. For those of you new to our school, the shopping room provides an opportunity for students to purchase holiday gifts for their family members at a very discounted price. Donations of clean, gently used items can be dropped off during school hours in between the doors of the main entrance. Save the date and bring your quarters! All proceeds will help a family in need in our community. We hope to see you there!
- We are also excited to be announcing the return of the Cookie Walk. On Friday, December 15th from 4-7pm (or until sold out) there will be cookies available for purchase in the gymnasium. Purchase a tin and then fill it with the cookies you want. This would make a great gift for a neighbor or loved one, or just a fun treat for your family. The PTO is also looking for bakers who are willing to bake cookies for this event. Please email the PTO at mailto:colrainpto@gmail.com with any questions or if you are willing to bake.
- You should have received an email this week with a survey about PTO meetings. It is very brief and will provide us with very valuable information. Please take a moment to fill it out so we can better serve you. If you did not receive the survey, or would like it resent, please email mailto:alooman@mtrsd.org
