Athletic Field Day is this Thursday, March 10th. Students must pack a lunch for school on Thursday as hot lunch will not be offered. Students will also be permitted to wear athletic clothing to school on Thursday. Just as Archway provides guidelines for dress code in the classroom, it is important to project the image of professionalism in our athletic attire as well. Please refer to page 50 in the Family Handbook for those guidelines. Each class has a team color and name (based on ancient Greece and surrounding city-states) so students are encouraged to wear their class color to represent their section!

KA/3A: Red - Sparta
KB/3B: Orange - Croton
KC/3C: White - Macedonia
1A/4A: Yellow - Thebes
1B/4B: Green - Crete
1C/4C: Black - Persia
2A/5A: Blue - Athens
2B/5B: Purple - Corinth
2C/5C: Grey - Argos

We are still looking for a few more volunteers to help organize and facilitate the athletic events. We are also looking for anyone willing to let Archway borrow their pop-up tent for shade or rolling coolers for water and popsicles. If you are able, please follow this link to sign up: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e084fada62ca2f85-athletic. Please email Coach Cook with any questions: dcook@archwaylincoln.org. Thank you for your support!

I also need one more parent volunteer to help out in the class during lunch and to be with us on the field to aid with water etc. Please email me and let me know if you are available to do this.

This quarter went by quickly. With just a few days left, I want to make sure all missing work is turned in. Partial credit is better than a 0, so please look in your child’s agenda to see if anything is missing.

We will be having a quiz on multiplying/dividing decimals on Wednesday and a test on magnetism/electricity on Thursday.

The final typewritten 5 paragraph persuasive essay on a tenth virtue is due on Tuesday.

We won the boxtop competition again!!! Thank you so much for contributing! Keep collecting them, there is another competition next quarter : )


Thanks for the tissues, we can still use more: )
