Every Christmas, the third grade hosts a Grinch party rewarding all the students who were able to earn hearts for being respectful, responsible, and kind. We will be doing Grinch activities this week and next week culminating in the Grinch Party. At the party we will watch the cartoon version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” eat green popcorn, and make Grinch pills (sixlets). The party will be on Thursday December 18th.

Please submit this form so that we know what your student can have:  Grinch Party Food Permission Slip


Raz Kids Passwords

I had to put on passwords because one student was going on other accounts and changing things. Everyone’s password is the first two letters of their first name and the first two letters of their last name. So mine would be niyo. I know that these passwords would be easy to figure out for others, but I am hoping students will think again about getting on an account that does not belong to them.

Gift Basket Fund Raiser

Hello Friends!

We are in the process of putting together a basket for POQA.  We thought it would be great fun to make a basket for IN STATE University Rivalries.  We are looking for items from BYU, University of Utah, Utah State, and Weber State.  (Please notice that those were put in alphabetical order so as not to upset anyone!)  If you have anything, or see anything that you would like to donate, please do, ASAP.  If you go to one of their games in the next week or so, please see if you can snag an extra FAN FREEBIE to add to our basket.  When the baskets are voted on, the most popular basket’s grade will receive 25% of the proceeds.  Yep, Third Grade wants to win!  

Thanks for all you do!

Here’s information from POQA:
Gift Baskets
Sponsored by POQA
Its competition time! Each grade will be responsible for putting together a basket. The theme is up to the grade to decide. Some possible ideas are listed below.
To make this happen, we need some donations from family/friends. Be creative and fun with the donations to fit the theme you’ve chosen. Feel free to ask companies for donations, purchase items, or re-gift items. All donations are due no later than Wednesday, November 12, 2014. 

We will have the baskets on display Nov 17-20th, 2014.
Voting will take place on the baskets to determine which basket is “People’s Choice” or most popular. Additionally, on the morning of Friday, Nov 21, a drawing will take place from the votes placed in that basket. A winner will be drawn for each basket to take home that day!
Grades in Q1 will be competing against each other. Grades in Q2 will be competing against each other. Essentially, this means there will be TWO “People’s Choice” winners. The grade in each school with the most popular basket will receive 25% of proceeds from the votes in that building. 
Voting will take place as follows beginning on Nov 17 and ending at close of business on Nov 20:
Purchase votes:
$1 per vote
             $10 for 12 votes
             $20 for 25 votes
