Dear Panther Families,
February came in with some springlike weather including warmth and lots of rain. Looks like maybe this will be a year with an early spring and not much snow or winter weather.
The next Principals' Coffee is on Thursday, February 20 at 8:45am. Our counselors, Shari Hirsch and Beth Mertens, will be sharing information about "Teaching Your Child Resilience." We hope many of you can join us that morning.
We hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Ms. Andujar and Ms. Walker
Week at a Glance
February 3-21: Pennies for Patients
Tuesday, February 11:
- All Talent Show Forms are due by today
The SCA Pennies for Patients program continues until February 21, 2020.
Our school goal this year is to raise $10,000. Last year, Poplar Tree raised almost $8,900 and we know we can do even better this year! We are so excited to be able to raise money to help find a cure for Blood Cancer. Encourage your student to look for spare change around the house. Bills and checks made payable to Leukemia Lymphoma Society are also acceptable. If you’d prefer to donate online, you’re in luck! There are several ways to do this.
- You can check out our school’s online donation page at https://events.lls.org/pages/nca/PoplarTreeElementarySchool-2020
- Your child’s teacher will set up a classroom donation page. Check in with your child’s classroom teacher for more information.
- Your child can set up an individual collection page. Information on how to do this can be found in the letter that is coming home today in Friday Folders.
Students can earn a variety of prizes for coin/check/bill and online donations this year. Check out the letter for more information.
The campaign will run February 3-21. Please contact Mrs. Sniffin, SCA teacher sponsor, at smsniffin@fcps.edu if you have any further questions. Thank you so much for your support of this wonderful cause!
