Mrs. Brandi Lee 5-A

As you all know, we have planned a field trip to the Caughlin Saunders Performing Arts building on Friday, Feb. 3rd to see School House Rick Live. We will be eating lunch at the Alexandria Mall Food Court before the performance. Please send your child with at least $7.00 Friday to cover the cost of their lunch. There is NO NEED to change your normal mode of transportation to or from school that day... we will be back in time for buses. If you have any questions, please call me or Mrs Lindsay!

Thanks!

Parents, A note went home today regarding 2nd nine week report cards. We will be sending home report cards with the students tomorrow if we see that a parent conference is not needed. For the parents that we have contacted, please keep your appointment time, since we have several parents to meet with and not a whole lot of time to do so. We will be at school from 3:30 - 8:00 p.m. to better suit your schedule. If you have already spoken to us and an appt. time cannot be kept, please call Mrs Lindsay or I first thing in the morning -- 318-240-8285.

Thanks!!!

On Thursday, Dec 22nd, we will be having our annual Christmas breakfast! If there is a problem with the item you have been assigned, please email me at brandilee@apcs.us

Thanks for all that you do!

Merry Christmas

This is a BIG thanks to the 5th grade class who raised nearly $900.00 for Toys for Tots!! After a very successful field trip, we dropped off all of our finds at the Marksville Walgreens in order to make a lot of children's Christmas a great one! Good job 5th graders!!!

Also... we just found out that we are the winners of the "Change for Change" fund raiser!

I am a very lucky teacher to have such giving students around me daily!!!

Happy Holidays everyone!

The week of November 14 - 18th ---

This year the 5th grade will be sponsoring the US Marines Toys for Tots gift drive. To raise money, we will be having a hot cocoa booth at Book Night (December 5th). A letter is coming home with all the details!

Also, we will be accepting donations in the form of cash or an unopened, unwrapped toy. I have spoken to the students about maybe doing some extra chores around the house to earn money for out project, and they seemed eager! The point of this service project is not only to help out needy families, but try and teach our children just how blessed we are!

Let me know if there is something that you need further explanation about!

Wishing you an early Happy Holidays....

Mrs Brandi Lee
