Classroom News
Kindergarten
Mrs. Tusken
Our new theme this week is colors! And our letter of the week is Aa. Each week we will make a letter book to take home and share with our parents. The letter books will come home in our Tuesday folders so be sure and look for them.
Our literature connections this week is “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?” by Bill Martin Jr.
I am asking parents to sign-up for weekly snack duties. A sign-up sheet will be in next week’s folders. If you would like to sign up for more than one week at a time, please let me know.
Grades 1-2
Mrs. Gaines
Are you ready for SNACK SHACK? We’ll be open next Monday at lunch time. Chocolate milk, popsicles, cookies or cupcakes will be available to all students. Most items will cost 50 cents. All proceeds go to our mission project.
Reports for this week and next are to be about anything to do with apples or Johnny Appleseed. Students are not scheduled for a specific day, but can give their report when ready. Don’t wait until the last day.
Our class will continue to investigate rocks this week, specifically, how they are formed. We’ll do this through a series of cooking experiences. Don’t worry, we won’t be eating any rocks.
Grades 3-4
Mrs. Morgan
We have been busy decorating our underwater classroom with a school of jellyfish. There are some very artistic and creative 3rd and 4th graders. Thanks to all those who helped out in leading the song service for chapel on Wednesday. You sounded great! Parents, please continue to check with your child regarding the completion of his/her daily assignment sheet. Also please help your child remember Library Day on Tuesday.
Grades 5-6
Mrs. Hodgson
Grade reports were printed Monday, September 6. Any work turned in on Tuesday has not been recorded. Please note that the deadline for turning in work is Friday of the week it was assigned. Please notice the attached memo regarding this policy.

Fund Raising Opportunities
Remember to buy your King Sooper’s grocery certificates from the school
Albertson’s
Shop at Albertson’s and raise money for our school! If you have a Community Partners card, present it with your Preferred Shopper card at the checkout and they will scan both. After that, you will need only the Preferred Shopper card. If you do not have the Community Partners card, pick up the application in the school office or apply online at www.albertsons.com, click on the “In the Community” link to find the Community Partners logo link. The I.D. # for the school is: 4 90001 7741.
Box Tops for Education
Help VRA earn cash and a play parachute.
Bring in all your Box Tops for Education and Campbell's Labels! Vista Ridge Academy participates in two programs that earn free money and supplies for our school.
Box Tops for Education
Cut the "Box Tops for Education" squares off grocery items and put them in the Box Tops bowl in the school office. VRA receives 10 cents for each one. So far, we have earned about $325. Our goal this year is to submit 3,000 Box Tops and earn $300. We'll keep you posted when we have a specific item we want to purchase with that money.
Campbell 's Labels for Education
Cut off the label from all Campbell's products (or save the lid on certain items), and put them in the collection bin in the school office. VRA can use them to "purchase" items for our school. Our goal this year is to purchase a 24-foot colorful play parachute for the younger grades. We'll need at least 2,200 more labels this year.
Watch your grocery receipts for bonuses and Labels for Education promotions listed at the end.
More details will be available at the Open House this Thursday night.
Thank you for your help!
