Thanks to your wonderful support for the clothes drive, our class has won an ice cream party. The party will be after school on Thursday March 1. Parents will need to make arrangements to pick up their students after the party. It will last about 1/2 hour. Please make arrangements ahead of time for pick-up. Thank you.
Valentine's Day Party is Tuesday. Your child may send in their Valentine cards Monday or Tuesday.
February 20 is a student holiday.
Dear Spicewood Families, Teachers and Staff,
I have been apart of the Spicewood Family for over eight years. During that time Spicewood has always answered the call for help. The Rally for Recess contest was certainly no different. Everyone answered loud and clear!
I am SO excited to say, as of last night it looks likeWe Have Won A Playground!The deadline to submit codes ended at 11pm on 2/8/12. At that time we were still in First Place! Our final confirmation will come at the end of this month.
We had so many volunteers donating codes, stamps, index cards, envelopes and their time. So many of you also helped with filling out cards, stuffing envelopes and entering codes. It was amazing the support that came pouring in!
Many, Many Thanks to ALL of you! You have given so generously with your resources and time. I wish I could thank each of you personally. Know your generosity and time helping were greatly appreciated.
Special Thank You's go out to Anne Marie Cote, Lisa Revelett and Amy Copeland for leading us to Victory! They donated their personal resources, endless hours of their time, ideas and energy. All of which got us to First Place!
I'm so happy for our students and teachers! They made this journey well worth it!
Once again Thank You for your support!
Congratulations Spicewood!
Michele Bassett
