ABC Countdown

This year, Snow School will celebrate another great year of learning by counting down the last 26 days of the school year with 26 special activities!

Please read through the activities and their descriptions as some days have your child wearing certain clothing and/or bringing items to class.  Participation is not required but we hope that everyone will join in this celebration in some way over the next couple of weeks.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher.  Thank you!

It’s that time of year again….the annual Snow School Picnic is right around the corner!  Friday, May 30th is our Snow School Picnic held after school from 5:00-8:00 p.m.  More information about tickets and activities will come home soon from the PTA.  However, we’d like to get a head start on organizing our classroom raffle baskets.  It has been a tradition that each classroom collect donations to go into a classroom raffle basket to be raffled off during the picnic.  Our classroom theme this year is “Water Fun”.  We’re asking families to donate items that relate to the theme to be put into our basket.  Suggestions are water guns, beach balls, goggles, swim fins, water toys, floaties, or anything related to having fun in the water.  Please send in any donations so we can start organizing our basket.  Let’s make a great basket to represent Ms. Shene’s class for the picnic!

Wednesday, May 7th is “Bike or Walk to School Day”.  Students are encouraged to ride their bike to school or walk to school instead of driving in a car.  All students who participate will receive a special sticker at school.
