Welcome to the 2012-2013 School Year!

Summer has been fantastic, but it has been great to get back into the swing of things at Molalla Elementary! There are many new changes for our school, but all seem super exciting! 

Firstly, MRSD welcomed Tony Mann as new Superintendant. He welcomed staff this past Monday with a truly inspirational and motivating presentation! I am excited to see what his leadership will bring to the district.

Secondly, our district has finally adopted some new programs. This year we will be using both new reading and math programs. For reading, we will be using the program called "Treasures". There are some amazing technology components and I think students will be excited to read the variety of stories within our textbook.

For math, we will be using "My Math". Like Treasures, My Math has some amazing technology components and a lot of good opportunities for school and home practice! MES was lucky to have PTC donate Smart boards to all classroom teachers. So I am excited to learn about using our new form of technology along with our new math and reading programs!

It was great to meet many of you during our Open House/ Ice Cream Social this evening as well! Tuesday is quickly approaching! During our typical school day, email is ultimately the best way to reach me. On Tuesday I will be sending home registration packets (for those families still needing to update information) as well as a form I like to have on hand with your contact information.

I strongly believe that your child's education is a team effort! Your support is wanted, appreciated and much needed. I am excited to collaborate with you, your child, and my fellow colleagues from MES to provide the best education possible for your 4th grader! Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year!

Also, be sure to continually check my blog. This is the easiest and most earth friendly method to communicate with you about events and classroom needs! Again, I look forward to working with your child and your family this school year. =-) See many of you Tuesday! Have a great weekend!

Pink Basket- Basket Bingo

Each year our PTC hosts Basket Bingo. Each class is responsible to have a basket with different items to serve as a prize. This year our theme will be the “All Things Pink”. Any item that is pink will work. We ask these items are in new and in good condition. Some ideas are candy, gardening tools, toys, etc. The dollar store or Bi-mart would be good places to check. Any donation would be great. In event you would like to contribute but are unable to make it to a store, cash donations would work as well. We hope to see you at Basket Bingo which will be Friday, April 20^th. Please look to the MES newsletter or fliers home for the time. Thanks!
