Week 25 ( March 2 - 6 )
This is Gloria Painter, the Assistant Principal at Iotla Valley Elementary. I am calling with some important information for this week.
The Musical Theater Club will practice on Monday after school until 5:00 pm and stay after school on Tuesday for the production of Seussical.
Our Musical Theater Club will hold its Spring Production, The Seussical, on Tuesday evening at 6:00 PM and Wednesday morning at 9:00 am. The cost for adults is $5.00, and children are free.
Students can join us in celebrating the joy of reading for Read Across America Week by dressing up. Monday is Reading is Royal - dress up in your fanciest clothes or a crown. Tuesday is Reading is Magic - wizards are the wisest in the kingdom because they are always reading, wear your wackiest or wizarding duds. Wednesday is Dr. Seuss Day - dress as your favorite Dr. Seuss character. Thursday is Brave Knights - Show your kingdom pride by wearing your IVE shirt and/or hat. See our Facebook Page or website for more information.
This week is also National School Breakfast Week, with the theme "The Quest for School Breakfast", which is designed to encourage students to fuel up with healthy morning meals. Our nutrition program highlights the importance of nutritious school breakfasts in improving student academic performance and concentration.
Our Spring Book Fair is this week. Your students' classroom teachers have signed up for a time for the class to visit. The book fair will be open to parents after the Seussical on Tuesday night.
This Friday is a teacher workday, and next week is Spring Break.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
