Rocket "MAJ, Blasting off to reach new goals!"

Greetings MAJ Families!

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend!  We are expecting another week of cooler weather.  Please remind your child to bring an appropriate jacket, sweater or sweatshirt to wear outdoors!  It is very helpful if you can put your child’s name in any jackets or sweaters they have.  Every year we end up with dozens of jackets and sweaters that were taken off, left in common areas, and never claimed from the lost and found.

There is no school tomorrow, Monday, January 19th, in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. 

Calling all dads!! Mark your calendar and make plans to join us at 7:45 AM on Tuesday, January 20th for our January All Pro Dads meeting!  This meeting is open for all dads and your children and includes a continental breakfast.  Please RSVP at https://www.allprodadchapters.com/chapters/15534 to assist us with planning appropriately and plan to arrive early to sign in at the front desk.

January 21st is Wellness Wednesday – wear your Olweus “No Bullying” T-shirt!

We will celebrate Literacy Week next week!  Make plans to join us for our Carnival Themed Family Literacy Night at 6:00 PM on Thursday, the 29th!  This will be a fun and informative evening for the whole family.  The Scholastic Book Fair will be going through the week and will be open during Literacy Night as well.

Friday, the 30th is our vocabulary parade.  Students are invited to dress up as a vocabulary word.  The parade will take place at 8:50 AM.  Family members wanting to come see the parade are invited to view along the East side of the building (by the cafeteria). In the event of bad weather, parents will be invited to view from inside the cafeteria.

Upcoming dates to note:

January 31 – Patrol Sponsored Mom/Son Dance

February 7 – Patrol Sponsored Dad/Daughter Dance

As always, we thank you for partnering with us in your child’s education as we are Blasting Off to Reach New Goals!!!  We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday morning!
