The Boosterthon is here!
The Boosterthon Fun Run kicked off last week with a thrilling Pep Rally and I am super excited about this year's program. Our team name is Holley's Heroes! The Boosterthon Fun Run program involves all students in a fun, team building, fitness event while helping our school raise much-needed funds. The central focus of this year's character program is FRIENDSHIP. This year's character theme is CAMP HIGH FIVE, and the Booster Team will take students on a fun-filled journey teaching them the importance of friendship.
Through the Boosterthon, I receive 10% of what our class raises to help go towards supplies for our classroom. On top of that, our entire school is raising support to go toward the vision fund at our school. Our goal for our class is to raise $500.00. We can help reach our class and school goal by stepping up to the challenge of raising $20.00 per student.
Each student will have their very own pledgebook with their own access code to log on towww.funrun.com. I have attached a document in this email where you can find your student's access code in case you lose it or their pledgebook did not go home today.
Here's how you can help:
1) LOG ON to your student's website at www.FunRun.com using your student's access code on the Pledge Book that cam home with them today. Log on each night to watch the Camp High Five character and music videos, and enter pledge information.
2) GET PLEDGES by connecting your student with 10 sponsors. The new funrun.com has many ways to use social media in the pledging process and pay online. Be sure to capture and record the e-mail address of each sponsor, as they will have an easy opportunity to pay for your student's pledge by credit card online.
3) COME TO THE BOOSTERTHON FUN RUN NEXT WEEK! Remember, students will be running 30-35 laps and we would love to have lots of support for our team!
Thank you for supporting our classroom and our school!
I'll see you next week at the Boosterthon Fun Run!

"Spring Fever" Has Arrived!
The sun is finally shining, the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping and the students are so eager for Spring Break! While this is a wonderful time of year (especially after our many snow days) it can also be a difficult time for students. We have begun to see many signs of "spring fever" here in our room. In order to help keep them on track and to encourage positive interactions with their peers, we will begin implementing several "bucket filling" activities into our Morning Meetings. Please ask your child to tell you about how they are filling buckets in the class and around school.
