25 Cent Friday!

Wow- who new how successful our first day of 25 cent Friday would be! I think every kid in that school brought money. Shari Bruce and I were working at the table and almost everything we had sold out! It was pandemonium at it's best! The kids were really excited and seemed to really love the whole thing. It made pretty good money for the first time too! If there is anyone who wants to help with this on Friday's, call Shari Bruce or post a comment here. We will need 2 people at least for a little while. I think Shari has made a schedule for the first couple of months, but she made need more help, or fill ins! Also a reminder- the cookie dough sale will be starting this week. I hope everyone is getting ready for this! I really hope it will be very successful.

Calling all helpers!

So- I have a couple things we need help with, or at least need to start getting geared up for. Mr. Marlowe asked us if we could have someone come in and help cover Judy Ritter (the secretary)at the school while they have faculty meetings. Up to this point she has not been able to go to them. It will be on Wednesdays (only every other) starting at 2:55 and going for about an hour. I think all you would do would be fielding phone calls and taking messages. It doesn't need to be the same person every time but it would be nice to get a few people that would be willing to help so we can call on them. The next meeting is September 23rd. Leave a comment on this post if you are interested,or email me at bawdenmom@hotmail.com. Also, we need to get ready for the spook alley at the end of October. If any of you have husbands or brothers or neighbors or you who really like to scare kids- please let me know! We have some great ideas but we need the manpower! If anyone has a husband like mine, that is one of their favorite things is scaring their kids! Also, any connections to props or anything that would be cool in the spook alley, let me know! I think this could be very fun and very successful if we have a lot of help! Thanks for all your help with everything!

Hi!

I'm so excited Felicia started a blog for Discovery!! This will be such a great place to share resources and stories, and to get to know each other. I am Felicia's sister-in-law and my name is Bonnie Blad. I have 5 children. They are Madi (12), Alex (almost 10), Gabby (7), Jake (4), and Jaxson (5 months). We are a busy, but happy family. We just moved here from Twin. The kids have adjusted well, and are loving their new schools. We are so happy to be a part of the Discovery family, and can't wait to get to know more of you!

Go Dragons!

Today the mascot for Discovery Elementary was announced! The kids voted and they chose the dragons! This should be a really fun mascot to work with! If anyone has great ideas or has seen some really cool dragons, please let me know! Hope everyone is as excited as me and my kids are!

Grandparent's Day

What a fun day for the first graders at Discovery Elementary! Many grandparent's came to brag about their wonderful grandchildren and tell about their experiences they had in their own school years! It was so cute to watch the kids as their grandchildren listened to them brag! Some of them were a little shy, others smiled with pride, others just sat there looking happy that they had grandparents who love them so much! It was so fun to be there. I was with my son in Mrs. Grimm's class so I gt a picture of them together but I'm sure all the classes had just as much fun! Thank you for all the hard work 1st grade teachers!

A Year Of Discovery!

I am so excited to introduce myself to all of you! I am Felicia Bawden and I am the PTO president for Discovery Elementary. I have 4 kids- Natalia is 9, Bradford is 7, Bailey is 4, and Isaac is 2. I am a busy mom but that is how I like it. I'm not sure what I would do if I could rest for too long! I am so happy to be involved in such a great way this year. I love going to the school and helping out in any way I can. It's a great way to be involved in my children's lives and education. So far this has been a great start to what I hope will be a great year. We have a lot of things planned and hope to get as many people involved as possible! All of the faculty I have met are tremendous and I have heard that the teachers feel the same way about our kids! Isn't that great! I, for one, am happy to hear that! I intend for this blog to b a place that we can post activities and announcements and any fun info that anyone has. I hope it can serve as a sort of "journal" for our school. Please post if you feel like it- even if it is just a neat or funny story you want to share. Maybe you want to tell something neat about your student's teacher. It's our blog so let's make it awesome! I will try to post some pictures now and then and keep you up to date as much as possible. Let's have a wonderful year! I know we can when we work together!
