FAST classes start this week!
Please send a note in your child’s folder on the days they are attending FAST.
Heroes Essay
Don’t forget to work on your 2012 PTA Heroes Essay and find or draw a picture of your hero. Please turn them in as soon as you are done along with the completed entry form which was sent home or can be found on the Tritt website. This assignment will be part of the February Homework Calendar. All entries are due on Thursday, February 9th.
Anti-Bullying Week
This week is Anti-Bullying Week, and all poster entries are due Monday (this was optional). Wednesday is “Hats Off to Kindness” and students can wear a hat to school. If your child ordered an Anti-Bullying t-shirt they should wear it on Friday.
Friday
Friday is the 100th Day of First Grade! We will be doing 100 day activities all day to celebrate, and students should wear their Green tie-dye t-shirts. We will also have Out to Lunch Bunch that day, so it won’t be a good day to come for lunch. Friday the 5th Grade is selling Chick-fil-a biscuits for breakfast, so make sure to preorder by Wednesday if your child would like one.
Parent Surveys
Please fill out and return the school surveys that went home last week.
Math Night
Come out to dinner at Zaxbys and Math Night at Walmart on Tuesday, January 31st from 5:00-8:00!

Mark your calendar for the Tritt Dance on Friday, February 10th from 6:00-7:00 or 7:00-8:00 in the Gym. The theme is Caribbean Cruise and Varsity will be selling dinner.
Field Trip Lunch
Your child will bring home a green lunch order form this week. Please review this with your child and return the completed form to me.

If you have not returned the signature card, please do so. I need this for the next quarter report card too.
