Dress in Your White House Best!

At the Friday assembly this morning, I made an exciting announcement: The "Dress in Your White House Best!" Competition is starting! Whichever Grade Level writes the most letters this week will WIN a non-uniform day. Students can leave their blue STA shirts and khaki pants at home for one day and dress in their White House best. One student told me today that when the 1st grade wins, he is going to where a black vest. I will be sure to have my camera ready on that day.

So far, our students have written 1,454 letters! It is phenomenal, and letter writing is now a phenom

enon at our school. This week, one fifth grade student wrote 35 letters IN ONE DAY! What a great accomplishment for him. And another 4th grade student has joined the 100+ letter club. So far, there are two 4th grade students in this club.

Our fundraising efforts are underway. We are short on time, but not short on hope or enthusiasm. Please support our journey to "Bring the White House to Our House!" and make a donation online through GiveMN.org or through the mail.
