Get Ready for a “Bee-utiful” Year in Kindergarten!

CARNIVAL NEEDS:
We need snack cake donations
WORKERS FOR ALL SHIFTS OF THE CARNIVAL NIGHT (SET UP, THROUGHOUT AND CLOSING)
I hope everyone saw the February Family Project and Kindness calendar! February is kindness month and we are really working as a McQuerry family to be kind to others. Using kind words, kind actions, etc… Acts of kindness do not always need to cost money! Your kiddo can make a thank you card for the fire department for free! There are lots of ideas on the calendar (pink). Please feel free to send a picture of your student doing something kind for me to hang up in the hallway.
If you know/have a student starting Kindergarten next year, screenings will be the last week of March so call the office and get your appointment set up ASAP!
PLEASE MAKE PLANS TO EAT PIZZA AT PIZZA HUT ON THURSDAY, MARCH 7TH!!!! There will be a flier go home, as well as one posted on the McQuerry PTO facebook page! This is a great and easy fundraiser for our school! Tell your friends and family!

Bee of the Week

Our Bee of the Week is Grandma Ruth! Grandma was born on December 20th! Grandma likes to eat French fries! Her favorite color is pink. She enjoys reading and being outdoors! She has 8 children, 25 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren! We all love how helpful and kind Grandma Ruth is! We would be lost without her!
