Dear Parents,

This update is going to be filled with a complete cry for help!  Here are the things I could really use your help with:

1. ISTEP SNACKS:

Please consider donating treats for ISTEP next week. I'm looking for donations of the following (we have 21 students) to keep our brains and bellies full:

• Lucky Charms
• Chex Mix
• Cookies
• Fruit Roll Up
• Bottled Water
• Tootsie Rolls 
• Peppermints (red & white star mints)

If you could send them in before Monday, that would be amazing!

2. Mini Grant

While perusing Facebook last night I came across a post from the Johnson County Community Foundation.  They are offing a $250 grant to 8 classrooms.  Our class discussed it and would really love to have 2 Sphero Balls to play with as we do our unit in Coding. All they have to do to have a chance to win is:

•  LIKE the Johnson County Community Foundation Facebook Page. 

• Then make a comment on the page with their teacher's name, school, and one sentence saying why their teacher is great.  

I promise, I am not into self promotion, but I am very into getting my students whatever they need to further their education.  The $250 would make us just $10 + tax shy of getting 2 Shpero balls for our room.  I will happily pay the $10 + tax if we are awarded the grant.  If you are willing to help our classroom in this endeavor, please follow this link for more information.

3. Chaperones 

Our field trip to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a week from today.  I am allowed to take 4 chaperones.  At this point I only have 3 volunteers.  The first person to respond to this email indicating they would like to go is in!

Thank you in advance for everything you do!!  

Sincerely, 
Mrs. McCain
