scoops from powdered laundry detergent
plastic caps from liquid fabric softeners , liquid laundry detergent or anything about that size
vegetable or soup cans (please check for sharp edges)

Just Say No Poster Contest

5th grade students will have the opportunity to participate in a Just Say No poster contest. In order to participate, your child will need a sheet of 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of white card stock. Poster card stock of this size is available for purchase at the local Dollar Stores. The posters will have to be completed at school. Students will either be allowed time in class as a group to complete, or will have to complete when they have finished their assignments for the day. Posters will be on display at the Jackson County Fair October 6th-11th.

Candle Fundraiser

Candle Fundraiser orders must be turned in Monday, September 29th. Remember to turn in only cash or money order for your sales. Your child will earn 50% of the profit (excluding tax). We wish you lots of success with this first fundraiser for the Orlando Trip!! :)

Planners

Parents, fifth graders will need to use their planners daily. They will post homework, project due dates, announcements, and other communication in this planner on a daily basis. We would like for you to initial this planner each day. Also, you may write notes to communicate with us in the planner and we may write notes to you also so it's important to look at daily. Your child will probably have some homework each day so if they say they do not have any, check planner to be sure. We are expecting to help your child become self-disciplined and organized as they prepare to become middle schoolers by next year.

Welcome to Our New Blog!

We hope that you will find this blog a great place for communication between you and the 5th Grade teachers at Sneads Elementary! It is our hope that you will stay informed of all events at our school through this site. We are excited about your child being in the 5th grade and we believe this will be their most challenging yet most memorable year at SES!
