Bring a Toy to School Celebration!

Our class earned another set of 100 Cougar Compliments! To celebrate, the class voted to have a “Bring Your Favorite Toy to School” party! We will be doing this Thursday, February 27th! Each student can bring one small toy to school. This could be a small bag of legos or blocks, an action figure, a doll, stuffed animal, toy car, etc. No toy weapons please! Students can bring an electronic toy (such as a DS or small tablet) if the sound can be turned off or headphones can be plugged in. Please make sure it is fully charged or has new batteries. Please do not send valuable electronic toys because these toys will be unsupervised at times (recess, specials, etc.) Students will have the opportunity to play with these items at specific points in the school day. They will only be allowed to play with the toy in the classroom setting (not bus line, etc.) Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you!

Have a great night!
