Spring Updates

*Due to the threat of rain, the Spring Fling that was scheduled for Friday, has been rescheduled for the week after Spring Break on Tuesday, April 2, 2013.  Arm bands may still be purchased for $5.00 and tickets for $0.50 each.  These may be purchased ahead of time, or the day of the event.

*Our field trip to the River Center to see Seussical the Musical is on Thursday, March 21.  Please make sure you are on time this day.  We will be leaving shortly after roll is taken.  Also, all students attending the field trip are required to wear a green PCES t-shirt (school policy).  These can be purchased in the front office if you are in need of one.

*3rd 9 weeks awards ceremony is on Thursday, March 21, 2013.  Our ceremony begins at 6:00 p.m. and we will honor those students earning A and AB honor roll.

*Spring Break is a mere three days away!  Can you believe how fast this year is going by?!  In fact, today marked the beginning of the fourth nine weeks.

A Few Reminders

*Just one more week until the third nine weeks ends (Monday, March 18).  Several students have already achieved their AR goals, and several more are very close!  Read, read, read!

*"Where Does Your Water Shed" poster contest entries are due no later than this Thursday, March 14.

*Seussical the Musical River Center field trip permission forms and money-$10, is due by this Friday, March 15.

*PTA Spring Fling is coming up on Friday, March 22.  You can pay in advance for arm bands and ticket money.

*Spring Break is very close, but we have so many things to complete before then.  Please help your child stay on top of their homework and assignments.  Check planners and newsletters nightly.

Thank you!
