" We are so lucky to be able to welcome the famous author Ben Mikaelsen to our school on March 31st. He has written novels, such as Touching Spirit Bear (Soon becoming a movie), Petey, and Rescue Josh McGuire. He is also a Montana resident, living in the Bozeman area. In order to offset some of the cost we will be holding Friday hat days. The hat days will be February 26th, March 4,11, ad 18. Students may bring $1 and wear a hat . Thank you so much for your support!"
I am allowing the kids to bring in a dollar ANYDAY they would like to wear a hat in class until the 31st. He really is an amazing author and it will be an unforgettable time for the kids.
Sickness
We have the sniffles going around our room so please make sure your lovelies drink LOTS of water and wash their hands anywhere they go. I have spoken to them about washing the hands and all that jazz, but hearing it from their parents always helps nail in the concept :)
