School Announcements
FROM THE DESK OF MR. BARONI
Homework Club
We will be starting an after school Homework Club for students every Thursday beginning 1/19/12. Every Thursday from 3:00-4:00 PM, we will have students from the high school here to work with Clara Barton students on their homework under the supervision of a teacher. Clara Barton students who wish to participate will need to bring in a note on the day Homework Club meets. A notice has been sent home announcing this new program. Please feel free to call the school if you have any questions.
Clara Barton's Clothing Drive
We just wrapped up a very successful Toys-for-Tots drive that brought in over 225 toys. These toys were donated to the U.S. Marine Corps on Friday and will be distributed to families in need for the holiday season. We want to express our sincerest thanks to all the families that supported this drive.
At Clara Barton, our mission is to reach out to work with and support the Oxford community in various ways throughout the year. We believe in educating our students to give back! We now have a children's "clothing drive" underway and again we're asking for your support. We ask that you donate new clothing only; we can not accept used clothing at this time. All the clothing donated will be made available to the families of Clara Barton as the need arises. We have a table set up in the lobby of the school for donations. Please help us with this endeavor by sending in your donation over the next several weeks.
As the cold weather approaches, we encourage you to dress your child appropriately for the weather. Students will be going out for recess every day throughout the winter unless the temperature proves otherwise. When the snow arrives, students with snow gear (hats, boots, mittens etc.) will be able to play in the snow; otherwise, they will stay on the blacktop. Please dress your children appropriately for the cold weather months ahead.
WALK and TALK with MR. B
Each month I host a "Learning Walk" for parents around the school. We begin with a Q+A session to address any questions or concerns that parents may have, followed by a visit to numerous classrooms and programs taking place around the building and wrap up with a conversation about the walk. My next walk will be Thursday, January 26 from 9-10:30. If you're interested in joining me for my next Walk and Talk, please fill out the information on the notice that will be going home soon and send it back to the school. I look forward to seeing you then.
