Congratulations and Thank You!!!

Congratulations to all of the students that put in the time, effort, energy, and finances to make our AAA program such a wonderful event for the audience. I heard many positive comments from parents that expressed a heart felt and sincere appreciation, for being given the opportunity to have their child be recognized for pursuing their interests. I also heard many comments about how talented our students have become through their desire to practice and improve. It's so good for our kids to pursue and develop their skills in not only the academic areas, but also the Arts. I'm so proud of all of you for getting involved and sharing. You not only have inspired yourself, but you may have inspired someone else! Thank you!



Reminder: Spring Picture Day is March 31th. Smile!!!

Each grade level is collecting certain items. Kindergarten - Toothbrushes, Grade 1 - Toothpaste, Grade 2 - Toilet Paper, Grade 3 - Shampoo/Conditioner, Grade 4 - Soap/Body Wash and Grade 5 is collecting Deoderant.

AR Minutes

The third trimester AR goal, 11 points, is due on May 14th. Due to this early deadline our nightly AR minutes will need to be slightly increased so that each student can meet their goal. This month's Reading Contract reflects this increase, as will each consecutive month. If you need to alter your child's AR minutes, please indicate this change on the contract. Thanks and good luck meeting your goal.

A Special Note for Parents of
Fourth Grade Students!


We are looking forward to the Pleasantview PTA sponsored Spring Carnival to be held on April 30th. Every year each grade puts together one or more special theme gift baskets. This year our theme is ‘The Great Outdoors’! One dollar raffle tickets will be sold at the carnival as chances to win the basket. We are asking students in the fourth grade to bring in $2.00 to be used for the purchase of items that will be put in our basket, or they may chose to donate items to put in the basket. These items could purchased for any age group in a family and should be related to our theme. Please send your donations to your child’s classroom teacher by April 13th.



Please help us fill our basket!
