Room 4 News and Reminders

Holy Spirit School students will be learning more about Riley Hospital for Children this week. We have a guest speaker from Riley on Tuesday and students who donate $3.00 may dress-out in red tomorrow. Tomorrow during recess, all students will participate in a 15 minute Walk-A-Thon to promote healthy habits. Please encourage your child to make a small donation to Riley Hospital. We will be collecting all week.

BizTown Success

We had a great day at BizTown on Friday. The students received many compliments about behavior and how seriously they took their responsibilities at their jobs. We spend many hours of class time teaching the economic (Social Studies), communication and writing (Language Arts), and banking lessons (Math)that go with this Junior Achievement program. Thanks again to all our parents who attended, and especially our Room 4 volunteers: Mrs. Nagel, Mrs. Carr, Mrs. Spears, Mrs. Keith, Mr. Nagel, and Mrs. Conway. We appreciate your willingness to give up an entire day to help. Also, thanks to Mrs. McRanor for volunteering to help interview the students for their jobs.

Room 4 Valentine treats and BizTown

If your child plans on bringing Valentine cards or treats to our class party tomorrow, please send enough for everyone. We have 18 students in Room 4. Please do not let your child bring exclusive cards or gifts for individual students. Thank you. Only parents who have completed a Virtus session, and have an up-to-date background check will be able to go to BizTown. Please let me know as soon as possible if your plans have changed. Students will need to wear their school uniform on Friday. Students and adults will need to bring their lunch on Friday, or order a sack lunch from the Cafe. Snacks and drinks will be available at BizTown.

Room 4 BizTown Volunteers, etc

We had several parents who volunteered to go to BizTown with 4th and 5th Grades who had not completed a Virtus workshop, had a background check, or have a Code of Conduct form on file in the office. Information was sent home last week to all volunteers so you can be current on all requirements. Please let me or the office know if you are not able to go with us to BizTown on Friday, February 15th.
