Greetings Mamie Agnes Jones Families!

It was wonderful seeing our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade parents this past week at Data and Donuts! 

We have a busy week ahead as we move into October and closer to the end of the 1st quarter.  This week is “World Heart Week.”  Students will be learning “Hands-Only CPR” and information on how to keep their hearts healthy!

We have several activities and events coming up this month.  Our October School Advisory Council Meeting will be held on Monday, October 5th.  SAC meetings are open to anyone who would like to attend.

The week of October 5th is PE, Health and Safety Awareness Week.  We will be wearing bright colors on Thursday, October 8th so we can “be safe and be seen!”

October 7th will be “Walk to School Day.”  Families are invited to meet with Coach Reier at the Park and Ride on Beaver Street between 7:50 and 8:00 AM.  The group will leave the Park and Ride and walk to the school at 8:00.

Mark your calendar and make plans to come out to the school on October 8th at 5:45 PM for Family Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Night! The City of Jacksonville Department of Bicycle-Pedestrian Planning Team will be here.  Bring your bike or scooter or wear your sneakers to practice what you learn following the presentation. 

Other upcoming events:

October 12th and 13th – No school for teacher planning and professional development days

October 22nd – Title 1 Family Math Night

October 25th – 30th  - Red Ribbon Week

October 30th – Patrol Sponsored Monster Mash Dance

As always, we thank you for partnering with us in your child’s education and look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morning as we continue diving deep into learning!
