They were rewarded with a M&M ice cream treat after lunch on Friday!  Great commitment and dedication over the summer boys and girls!  We will continue to use MYON and MobyMax in the classroom during Daily 5 to help improve our reading lexiles.  Students are encouraged to go on these websites at home.  If you are having trouble getting on these websites from home, please refer to my previous blog post.

Snow’s first PTA meeting of the 2016-2017 school year will take place on Thursday, October 6 at 6:00 p.m. in the Snow Media Center.  Everyone is welcome.  Items will be discussed pertaining to events, funds, and information about the school.

Dues for becoming a member are $6.00 per person.  Pay by cash or check made payable to “Snow PTA”.

The class with the highest percentage of paid PTA members per student by Friday, October 7 wins extra recess, cider and donuts!  Anyone can be a PTA member:  moms, dads, grandparents, guardians etc.  🙂
