February 2-6

Our Valentine's party will be on Friday.  Students have voted to do a "buffet" style party at lunch.  They are supposed to be checking with you to see what food item they can bring to share.  We will also need to bring $1 for drinks and need someone to volunteer to bring in a little Valentine's candy.  If you choose to bring in individual bags or Valentine's to the class, please bring to everyone.  We have 14 students.  I will get a list of names out.

We are still collecting money for the Children's Hospital.  You can bring in change or bills and the one who brings in the most will be crowned King or Queen.  I only have a couple who have brought in donations. You can bring these in daily and we will keep a running total. Deadline is February 12.

The money for the McWane field trip is due by Tuesday, February 17th.  The cost is $42 for students and $37 for chaperones. (you can pay in 2 installments if you wish and the second one would be due by March 3) I have 6 parents/grandparents who have signed up to go.  I still have a couple of slots left so if you would like to go, let me know.

The SGA is selling cookie dough.  Your child should have brought home a packet with the order forms.  Prizes are awarded to top sellers. Also, the schools gets money for every booklet that you return filled out with names and addresses.

We are going to see the Alabama Dance Company Presentation of "Frozen" on March 6 in Dothan.  I several parents who have agreed to drive and I will be in touch with you.  The cost is $23 for chaperones and $7 for students.  You can begin sending in the money at any time.  I am not sure of the deadline, but will let you know when I get more details.

I am also in the process of planning a field trip to Huntsville to go to the Space and Rocket Center. I will let you know details and cost as soon as it is finalized.  We will take a charter bus and so this will be a more expensive trip if you want to start saving a little :-)

Grades 7-12 will be dismissing Thursday in order to go to the varsity boys basketball game.  If your child is planning to check out and go, please let me know.

6th GRADE PARENTS:
I have had several of you asking about what goes on the display board.  I am attaching a photo that shows a sample. Also, you do not need tables for the Pike Science Fair.  You do need them for District and State. Display Boards and Final Reports are due tomorrow, Friday, 2/6.  If you have extra items to display with your project, you can wait and bring those on Monday.
