Cystic Fibrosis Wristband Fundraiser

Cystic Fibrosis Wristband Fundraiser

Student Council is sponsoring this event to support a close friend of one of our students who is affected by this disease.  Bianca Algeri is a seventeen year old girl who was born with Cystic Fibrosis.  She  has formed her own organization, Bianca’s Angels, that helps support research for this disease.  

To support this cause, we are selling purple wristbands that students can buy from their homeroom teacher.  

Where can you buy them?

Students can get wristbands from their homeroom teacher on Monday, May 9-Friday, May 13th.  Each wristband is $2.  All funds will be donated to Bianca’s Angels, so additional donations are welcome!

Meet Bianca!

Students will get to meet Bianca on Friday, May 13th at 1:15 p.m. She will be visiting each individual classroom. The Student Council asks students to wear purple on that day, to show support for this amazing cause. 

Rob Buyea is Coming to PG!

Don’t Forget!

If you are interested in ordering a book for Rob Buyea to autograph your order form needs to be in by Wednesday, May 4th!

Books may not be available on the day of his visit. Please be sure to preorder if you intend to buy one.  If you need an order form, you may pick up a copy in the library.  You can also find it on Mr. Lyon’s and the library’s blogs.

75 degrees!!!! Fractions and Fun Outside!

Read Across America

March 2nd is the birthday of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.  We celebrated with some fun activities in Mrs. Parnell's Kindergarten class.  Stories were read.  Bingo was played.  We interviewed our new friends to learn a little bit more about each other.  Have you ever won Tic-Tac-Toe with green eggs and ham pieces?  We colored The Cat in the Hat and completed a word search.  To cap off the fun, we attempted to place an egg piece on a plate without looking.  Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and we can't wait to do some more fun things with our Kindergarten friends soon.

 Reading with our friends.

 Interview a new friend!

Siblings are the best!

 "I did it!"
