Big Thanks!!!

I just wanted to share with you some great and exciting news! Gadsden Job Corps has "adopted" our entire first grade at Mitchell, and they are really doing some great things! On Tuesday afternoon they came and completely emptied our rooms to sweep, mop and buff our floors. On Wednesday, they came and changed our big bulletin boards that are outside our rooms in the hallway (which is very time consuming to do). Today, they sent their culinary students with freshly baked cookies as snack for all of the students, and gave all four of the first grade teachers a huge basket filled with things we need. In this basket, we had ink (black and color) for the printers in our rooms, tons of sharpies, a case of copy paper, high lighters, page protectors, several other goodies, and the biggie - a bulb for our digital projectors (these are extremely EXPENSIVE and I use my projector many times throughout the day)!!! This is truly a blessing to have such kind and generous people in our community that enjoy helping others. They will be coming monthly to clean our rooms, decorate bulletin boards, and bring snacks for the students. We are very appreciative and so thankful that Gadsden Job Corps chose us to adopt!

Hopefully the weather forecast is wrong, and we will be able to be at school all day tomorrow without any SNOW! Our Class Valentine Party is at 1:30 in the classroom, and all parents are welcome to come. Our room mother, Mrs. Wendy Burns, has been working very hard for several weeks on this party and I know it will be great! Thanks Wendy for all you do!!! Hope to see some of you there! I will post pictures over the weekend for those of you who can't come. Happy Valentine's Day!!!
