 Ebb Valley News Update  .

February 2010 - Notes from the Office 
Winter Weather – Brrrrr!!! This has been a pretty cold winter. We want to remind parents to be sure that your child wears a jacket, coat or heavy sweatshirt to school during the winter months. We are required to have a fire drill every month and during the January Fire Drill we had children wear their coats outside, many students had no coat at all. Please remind your children to dress appropriately for the season.
 
Maryland Kids Care Campaign: Operation Haiti – Beginning February 1 through February 12th, we will be collecting money – coins and bills, for earthquake victims. All monies collected will be donated to the American Red Cross. Look for donation containers in the cafeteria and other key locations throughout the school for the donation collection. Thanks to Mrs. Spera and Mrs. Swecker for their help in collecting and banking the money.
 
Yearbook Request - *To all parents or those involved with Ebb Valley, the yearbook team sends out a plea for pictures. We are in need of pictures from different
events such as Donuts with Dad, Munchies with Mom, Book Bing, Pep  Rallies, Assemblies, field trips for each of the grades as well as pictures from last year's play day, the spring carnival or other events with school from Spring until the end of the school year. We want to get as many pictures as we can in the yearbook and want to get all of the kids in as well. Right now, we only have a select amount of pictures to use. If you have any pictures at all, please email them to cjones@mcdaniel.edu or you can send the pictures in to school marked "yearbook pictures". Thank you for your help. We will need all pictures turned in my next Friday, February 5th.*

 

 
 

 

  RAZ Kids

We are very pleased to announce that our students read 2160 books on the RAZ Kids site.  That is tremendous. Our students continue to have access to the RAZ Kids website that will help them maintain and possibly boost their reading scores. Your child can access this wonderful world of books because our school system has subscribed to the online library of exciting reading materials. Raz-Kids helps students improve their reading skills as they listen to a book read for modeled fluency. Then, if the computer has a built-in record function, they can record themselves reading the same book. Or, students can read the book to themselves or aloud for practice.  Interactive quizzes are available at the end of each book.

 Here is how to access the website and your child's reading assignment from any computer connected to the Internet: 

 

1. Go to www.raz-kids.com

2. Type in the teacher's username on the flier that came home in your child's report card.  If you need your teacher's username, please contact the school.

3. Find your name or symbol on the chart and click on that symbol.

4. The books in your child's assignment and stars earned appear on a personal assignment page. Your child can choose to listen, read, or take a quiz by clicking on the symbols below each book.

 Remember, the more your child reads, the better reader he or she will become!

 Dear Parents:

We have an exciting opportunity to share with you. We are taking part in a national fundraising program sponsored by Tyson Foods, Inc. called Tyson Project A+ . Through this program, we can raise as much as $12,000 for our school this year! The money we raise can go towards buying books or computers, making improvements to our buildings, or anything else that we want.

All we have to do to participate is Clip and save the entire Project A+ labels™ from participating Tyson products. Each label we collect is worth 24¢ for our school. A collection site has been set up at the school where you can drop off your redemption labels.

Let's support our school! Clip and save Tyson Project A+™ label from labels today.
