Help us celebrate Hope's Ten Years of Excellence -
all year long!!!
Thank you parents for the magazines and prizes that you have sent in. Please keep the prizes coming! 50 of the 75 students who took our first vocabulary test made a 100!!! They all earned a bag of chips!
I have a bin in my room full of prizes, a bin of extra school supplies, a basket of candy and another container full of snacks which I will use to reward your children this year for reading accomplishments and other things which they do that are "over and above" the minimal expectations in my classroom. Excellence is what we want our children to strive for!!! Please assist me in encouraging them. First of all, your positive words of praise go further than you will ever know. Secondly, please send in items which we can use in our reward system: the smaller bags of chips (These are available by the large bag with 30 individual bags in them.); honey buns (You can buy them by the box/tray at Freds and probably Sams.); journals; small bouncy balls; lip balm type items; nail polishes; small items from the Dollar Tree or Dollar General; and other items that you know your girls and boys love. Fast food coupons are another great idea. Thank you so much for sending these items in by your children.
