                     MEAP Testing October 14-28

Safety Patrol: My students are serving on Safety Patrol from September 4 through September 12.

If your child is on the Outside Safety Patrol Team, they need to be on their posts at 8:15 AM. If the temperature in the morning reaches 32 degrees or below, the Nims PTO provides the childen with a cup of hot chocolate.

If your child is on the Inside Safety Patrol Team, they need to be on their posts at 8:25 AM.

All Safety Patrollers are dismissed by 3:40, or when their responsibilities are completed.

2008 Nims Canned Food Drive:

We will be collecting nonperishable food items from December 3 through December 14. All of the food collected will go to the needy in the Muskegon area through the Muskegon Rescue Mission.

We will be going "Carolling for Canned Goods" on Wednesday December 5 and on December 12 from 3:30 through 5:30.
Your child must return the permission slip in order to go with us.
I will need one parent to drive and donate a snack for our carolling. Please call or email if you can volunteer your time.
All students at Nims that participate will be recognized for their contributions, and the top 20 individuals who contribute will get a pizza party.

Reading / Language Arts

We use the Harcourt Reading Series. Here is a great link that supports the Reading, Writing, Spelling, and Grammar lessons we are learning. Click on the link below to supplement what we are learning at school in the area of Language Arts.

Math: We will be spending some time to review what the children have learned over the years in preparation for the MEAP Test. Use the links below to review math concepts that will be tested.

5th Grade Camp: The dates for camp are May 19-May 21. We are going to camp Miniwanca in Shelby, MI. Last year, the cost of camp was $140. We are offering a few different payment options for camp.

You can take part in fundraising through World's Finest Chocolate. You would have to sell 7 full boxes to be paid in full.
You could pay the $140 in one lump sum.
You could make payments using a coupon booklet. You would make 7 monthly payments of $20. These payments would start at the end of September and would be due at the end of every month.

We are attempting to make the financial end of camp easier for our families. Please contact me to discuss which option you would like to take part in.
