Week of September 7th , 2010 August 31st - Student information and signature papers due All text books covered (paper; cloth covers; etc.) September 6- No School September 16th- Picture Day Sunny Delight Book Promotion: Dear parents and guardians, We are very excited to tell you about a program our class is participating in that will bring free books to your child’s classroom. It’s called the SunnyD Book Spree, and the program will donate 20 books when our class sends in 20 SunnyD UPC labels. The program will also award hundreds of books to the ten schools that collect the most labels. Please help us get our free books! Last year, SunnyD donated 84,000 of them. Save SunnyD UPC labels, and send them in to our classroom. I’ll collect and mail them to the program for our free books. Ask friends and family to collect labels, too—because once we’ve earned our 20 books, we can start collecting for the big prizes. We could win hundreds of books for our class library! For more information, go to Sunnyd.com/bookspree. You can even track our school’s progress and see how many labels we’ve saved. So thanks in advance for helping all our kids shine in school! Sincerely, 6th Grade Team
