Dear first-grade families,
Hoping that everyone is doing well! Here is all the information you and your child will need for the week of 2/13-2/17. I ask everyone to please read all the information I post or email and the attachments. I am being asked questions covered in detail by the email and posts I have put out.
If you miss any emails, you can check out my school blog: http://www.stanthonygardena.org/first-grade/.

Please help our school raise $40,000 with the Express Feedback for Good (EFG) from January 23-February 17, 2023. It costs nothing, only time. Thank you for helping us raise money to pay our school share for our recent school renovations!

Feb. 14, Tuesday
Valentine’s Day observed, students may wear pink/red shirts and jeans
Snacks
Parents, please send your child a healthy snack every day. Please do not send your child candy, chocolates, soda, or other sugary drinks like soda. (Fruit by the foot, candies, m&ms, lollipops, snickers, etc.) We are still seeing students eating very sugary snacks.
Morning
Students are asked to sit on the blue bench in the morning while waiting for the morning bell. Students shouldn’t be running and playing. We only have 1 teacher on duty in the morning and it’s difficult to watch all students when they’re all over the place and running around. Students running and playing might result to an accident. Once again, please remind your child to wait and sit on the blue bench while waiting for the morning bell.
