Alamo Trip This Week!

Upcoming Events:

• Book Fair is this week with Family Night on Tuesday. We will have a time for children to make their wish lists.
• During the PTA Meeting on Tuesday, we will also be having Math Night. This is an awesome opportunity to get a few games for your kids to practice their math skills over the summer.
• WBE Explorer Idol Talent Show is on Friday! Come by to see all of the talented kids we have!!!!
• YEARBOOKS FOR SALE! If you haven't yet ordered one, you can still send in $25 (cash or check) to be sure your child gets one. They will be distributed to all of the students on Monday.

Alamo Field Trip Reminders:
The Alamo Field Trip is on FRIDAY! Remember that all students need to be dropped off at school at 6:35AM and picked up at 5:00PM! I have received permission slips from everyone, so if you are not here, expect a lovely wake-up call from me. The bus is pulling out of the school parking lot at 7:00. We need students here on time so that we can be sure we are prepared to leave. If your child is not at school on time, other arrangements have been made for them to attend class

• A few reminders:
• All students need to bring a sack lunch! Please do NOT send canned or bottled soft drinks. It is a good idea to bring a disposable plastic water bottle. 
• Camera are allowed, WITHOUT FLASH.
• Children do NOT need to bring money, because we will not have time to stop in the museum or Alamo gift shop.
• Electronic devices are NOT allowed, for example: iPad, iPod, MP3, cell phones, DS
• If you have any questions, please let me know!
