Reminders:
1) Supplies
Please be sure your child is prepared for each school day. It is very important that they have their Take Home Folder, Bunny Bag, and cut Spelling Sort each day. Without these supplies your child cannot best participate in our classroom activities. Help them develop their responsibility by guiding them in preparing their supplies for school each evening or each morning.

2) Lone Wolf Cafe
Lone Wolf Cafe opened last week (opened Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays). A number of Cottontails are participating in this yummy event. Single meals ($7.00) are still available for purchase. Each morning and afternoon the Wolves are available in the Entry Way to purchase meal tickets. Your support helps them fund their annual class trip. This year's trip is to an environmental ed camp in Illinois. Thank you for your support. A menu can be found HERE or on the Welcome Page's Right Sidebar.


Upcoming Events:
Sadly, the snow, yet again, had other plans for us on originally scheduled field trip day. We have rescheduled our field trip to Home Ec for Friday, March 8th. Please be sure you leave your child's booster seat. Also, PLEASE NOTE, if you were planning to drive, please reconfirm with me if you can or cannot drive on the 8th.

Community Night - Thursday, March 14th 5:30 - 7:00
Our much anticipated Spring Community Night is quickly approaching. Save the date and plan to attend our special night where you child will be presenting some of our favorite Fabric projects to the Willowwind Community. Due to our growing community, this event will take place at the River Community Church. Please meet there (shortly before 5:30) as we present our projects and listen to our 1-6 grade friends present their exciting Science projects and Science Fair exhibits. We are looking forward to it!
