We had a great week this past week! The days are flying by!
EXCITING NEWS!!!-Congratulations to Tritt on receiving the Highest (Platinum) Level Award from the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement. We are one of only 3 elementary schools in Cobb County and 28 in the state to receive this award. We are so fortunate to have such a fabulous school!
On Tuesday, January 31st, there will be a Math Night from 5:00-8:00PM. Zaxby's is offering 1 free Kidz Meal per adult entree and (plus) beverage purchase. (The Kidz Meal options are Kiddie Finger, Kiddie Grilled Cheese, and Kidz Nibbler Meals. These include a 12 oz beverage, milk or Apple Juice and a Rice Krispie Treat (shakes not included) for Tritt family, friends, staff, and students so be sure to mention that you are from Tritt. Then head over to Wal-Mart where teachers will be on hand to hand out grade level math sheets to your child.
If your child attends on Tuesday, they do not need to do the regular Math homework that will be assigned that day. They will also get $100 Bonus Bucks! It is helpful to bring a clipboard and pencil with you. Hope to see you there!!
A note went home in your child's Friday packet this week with a list of the students in our class so that they can make their Valentines. They may begin bringing them in on Monday, February 13th. We will be making a Valentine holder at school. :)
We are having a real treat on February 21. Carmen Deedy is coming to Tritt as a part of the Performing Arts program. Carmen is a local author and storyteller. She is very entertaining. Two of her books, Agatha's Featherbed and The Library Dragon are particular favorites of mine. A form came home this week that gives your child to purchase one of her autographed books.
