News From 2S

Dear 2S Families,

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here. I would like to wish all of you a happy, healthy, and safe holiday break! Below you will find a few tidbits about upcoming events. Thanks and have a great weekend!

Strawbery Banke Field Trip:

Our trip to Strawbery Banke was a great success! The students were very excited to participate and learn about the community of Strawbery Banke and how Thanksgiving became a holiday. Does anyone know which president was responsible in helping Thanksgiving become a national holiday? Feel free to ask your child to see if they can remember. I would like to give a special thank you to Claudia Tobon, Ali Bennett, and Diane Lawley for helping out as chaperones. Their help was greatly appreciated!

Book Fair at SMS:

The Scholastic Book Fair will be coming to SMS after Thanksgiving Break. Hopefully you received a flyer earlier this week about some of the books for sale. This year each class will have a specific time to go down to the book fair and have an opportunity to buy some books. Buying is optional.  Our class time is on November 29th at 12:45pm. If you would like for your child to buy a book at this time, I would suggest placing money in an envelope to keep it safe. The book fair is also open after school, so if you would like to take your child at a separate time to buy that is fine. The fair is open Nov. 28th-Dec. 2nd. Please see below for days/times.

Book Fair Info:
Nov. 28th-8:30-4:00 pm
Nov. 29th-8:30-4:00 pm
