The First Grade Gazette

100% Conference Attendance! #Winning #Awesome

Thank you for coming to visit during parent-teacher conferences last week. I am proud to announce we had 100% attendance. WOW! It was nice to touch base with families about what is going on with their special first grader!
Today is our 33rd day of school~this hardly seems possible. We continue to improve on classroom routines and expectations...BUT we are having difficulties in the lunchroom and playground areas. Please help me remind your student that we sit down while we eat, use inside voices, and keep our hands to ourselves in the lunchroom. On the playground it is not acceptable to hit, use foul language, or boss others. Both of these areas are large, shared spaces—a certain amount of activity and noise is expected, but we all need to work on doing our part to make both breaks a pleasant part of our day. We CAN do this!
Until next week….Mrs. S,
Music Booster
Soup and Sandwich
Supper will be held on Friday, October 11 from 5:00-6:30.
Our Artist in Resident fell victim to the vicious snow storm in western SD last weekend. Duane lives 20 miles north of New Underwood and obviously wasn’t able to make it to ABO Schools this week. Keep those ranchers/families/businesses and service workers affected by the storm in your thoughts and prayers.
Happy Birthday
Bo McGee

This would be a good place to insert a short paragraph about your organization. It might include the purpose of the organization, its mission, founding date, and a brief history. You could also include a brief list of the types of products, services, or programs your organization offers, the geographic area covered (for example, western U.S. or European markets), and a profile of the types of customers or members served.
It would also be useful to include a contact name for readers who want more information about the organization.

Back Page Story Headline

This story can fit 175-225 words.
If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this story will appear on the back. So, it’s a good idea to make it easy to read at a glance.
A question and answer session is a good way to quickly capture the attention of readers. You can either compile questions that you’ve received since the last edition or you can summarize some generic questions that are frequently asked about your organization.
A listing of names and titles of managers in your organization is a good way to give your newsletter a personal touch. If your organization is small, you may want to list the names of all employees.
If you have any prices of standard products or services, you can include a listing of those here. You may want to refer your readers to any other forms of communication that you’ve created for your organization.
You can also use this space to remind readers to mark their calendars for a regular event, such as a breakfast meeting for vendors every third Tuesday of the month, or a biannual charity auction.
If space is available, this is a good place to insert a clip art image or some other graphic.
