Parents:

• About a quarter of the class did not complete their LA workbook activities. Please monitor your child's completion of the assignments by referring to the HW blog. Thank you.
• THANK YOU to those who donated pennies and money to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society during the Pennies for Patients fundraiser. Our class collected $171.34 for a great cause.
• February Book Orders (online or in-hand) are due tomorrow, Friday, 2/5.
• On February 10, Ruskin will be celebrating Lunar New Year with an assembly. Returning, due to popularity, is the Magical Moonshine Theater. Upper grades time TBD.
• On February 12, we will have a Valentine's exchange so if your child would like to exchange cards (handmade ones are cool though not required) then make sure they bring them on Friday, February 12. If you would like to bring treats as well, please make sure those are not homemade! (This event is not to replace lunch!)
