Welcome to Iron House school! We believe that all children can excel at academics, and that activities and citizenship are just as important. Our students know that we have high expectations for them, and they strive to meet them. We welcome involvement from parents and the community.

Welcome 2010! It is always so nice to begin the new year relaxed and refreshed after the winter break. We begin January with Progress reports going home on Friday, January 8th. This is a mid trimester report, the trimester officially ends on February 19th. If you have any questions regarding their progress, call or email your child’s teacher. We have many great intervention opportunities for students at every grade level.

A huge “Thanks” goes to the PTA, community volunteers and Iron House Teachers for their hard work on our Jingle Jamboree event. The raffle baskets were dazzling and the event was a huge success. Our next event will be a Family Reading Night on January 21st. Kids love these events and wear comfy clothes, drink Hot Chocolate, have cookies and read! It doesn’t get better than that on a cold winters night.

Calling all talent!! Our talent show tryouts are here January 6th and 7th. The Talent show will be on Friday, January 22nd at 8:15 for K-2 and 9:15 for grades 3-5. This important event gives students an opportunity to share the talents that they have that usually are not a part of the daily curriculum. Last year we had some amazing talent such as musicians, dancers, and poets!

Our coat and blanket drive is underway, gently loved items may be donated at the Iron House office. These donations will be sent to shelters and families in need. Iron House Office is still collecting items to mail to the troops, snacks, toiletries, powdered drink mixes etc. We mailed our first group of boxes over the break. Five boxes in all; each to a different soldier serving over seas.

We wish you a New Year full of learning, health, and success!

Sincerely,
Michele Gaudinier, Principal

Book Swap

Dear Parents and Students:
Our annual Book Swap event is coming up on Thursday, February 25th and will end on March 2nd. This is the culmination of our Read to Succeed and Literature Day events. Students can begin bringing in books to their classrooms beginning January 11th!
Here is how it works: For every slightly loved book a student brings in they get a “Book Buck” ticket. They save their tickets until the Swap event and during the school day the students will have the opportunity to redeem their “Bucks” for slightly loved books. This is a great way to get a “Jump” on your Spring Cleaning! We will need parents to help during the swap event so, if you would like to volunteer let Mrs. Gaudinier know.
Happy Reading!
