Whitesburg Parents and Guardians,
We have a big week!
Our Book Fair is this week. Classrooms will have a schedule to visit the book fair; however, teachers will work with students throughout the week if the students bring money after their scheduled classroom time.
Our Tall Small Ball is Tuesday night, starting at 5:30. Please enter through the middle school gym doors. The book fair will be open during the Tall Small Ball. Students MUST be accompanied by a guardian to attend. It is going to be fun!
Our Title 1 Parent Engagement Meeting starts at 5:00 right before the Tall Small Ball.
Our 1st grade Parade of Readers begins on Monday as well. The students will earn links for each book they read. This is always fun for me. I might be one of the most competitive individuals ever! I will be reading along with them and I compete and encourage the 1st graders to try to read more than I do. I want to get the most, but I really want them to have more than me. When they are reading they are learning - Readers are Leaders!!
Progress reports come home this week. Progress reports are so important so that parents are aware of where the students are mid quarter. The students still have time to improve before report cards.
The 2024-2025 Annual WBES Color Run Fund Raiser packet was sent home this week. This is such a fun day for our students and also raises funds to be able to do fun learning experiences with our students, have up to date equipment/supplies, and make sure that our teachers are up to date with any new, innovative skills/strategies needed for our students. Please see information further down in the newsletter.
Please do not forget we have a half day on Friday, dismissing at 11:30, and we are out of school on Monday for Presidents Day Holiday.
Let's continue to strive for excellence in everything that we do.
Thank you for your support! I am blessed to serve with you at the BURG!
Thanks,
Mrs. Jones
