Happy Health Bags!

Mrs. Eubanks and Mrs. Laskowski are making Happy Health Bags for children who visit the emergency room at Connally Hospital. Each bag will have a tip written by the students to tell others how to stay safe and healthy. In addition, each bag will have a coloring book and crayons that the children are collecting.The staff of the emergency room will pass them out to children who are patients in the emergency room.  Here is a picture of some of the children with the coloring books they are collecting. Stay tuned to see the kids stuff the health bags and visit the hospital to deliver their bags.

Heart Store Open for Business!!

If you were in the first grade hallway this morning you would have noticed a large group of kids examining the goods available for  purchase. Don’t forget to stop by and purchase Valentine’s Day goodies and help Mrs. Cardenas’ and Ms. De Anda’s classes support our troops. Remember that the store is open for the next two weeks! Way to go Buddies!

Help the Cat Rescue of Floresville

 

Mrs. Richardson’s first grade class and Miss Erickson’s second grade class will sponsor the Cat Rescue of Floresville for our spring service/learning project. First we are collecting used plastic shopping bags (for poopie bags!), then each student will “Paws for Chores” and earn some money at home so we can buy 2 large trash cans for the Cat Rescue. Finally we will do Cat’s Play and make some catnip toys for the cats.

Any donated money to help spay or neuter the cats will be greatly appreciated.

Stop by the classroom store to purchase items from 7:00-7:30 a.m. and 2:30-3:00 p.m. Items and prices vary but cupcakes can be purchased for 25 and 50 cents, cookies for 25 cents and stuffed animals for 50 cents. Hurry! Shop while supplies last!

2010 Promising to be a Busy Year!

The new year promises to be a very busy time for Floresville Primary Students! Our campus has divided into Classroom buddy teams and each team  has chosen a service learning project for the spring.  Plans for 15 different projects are now being made!

Some classes have chosen projects to do here on campus, others have local community activities planned. Several classroom buddies will support our troops overseas as well soldiers who have been wounded and are staying in San Antonio!

Check back frequently over the next several months to see what  the helpful children from Floresville Primary are accomplishing!

Sheriff Santa Delivery

Two days before the holiday break, Sheriff Tackitt returned to Floresville Primary to receive the toy donation for the Sheriff Santa program. The boys and girls are seen here holding the toys they collected waiting to hand them over to Sheriff Tackitt.

Classroom Buddies learn about Sheriff Santa

On Dec. 3, Sheriff Tackitt met with Mrs. Sandoval’s and Ms. Downs’ classes to explain the Sheriff Santa program. Toys are donated to the Sheriff Santa program and then they are delivered to local children who may not receive gifts for Christmas. The classes were able to ask many questions about the Sheriff Santa program and the types of gifts that the children might like or need. Many of the children have already decided what they want to donate!

Floresville Primary Stops Traffic to Deliver Food!

Today, our primary students delivered their food drive donations to Ben Reed, FISD social worker. We gathered up our wagons, shopping carts, teacher carts and ice chests full of food and headed across the street. Mrs. Lawtum helped get us across the street and we all helped unload the food for Mr. Reed.

Everyone agreed it was fun helping other people!

Food Drive Continues

We have seen many children bringing in non-perishable foods for our food drive! Today, for the letter E, children brought in Equal, enchilada sauce, enriched rice, entertainer crackers, elbow macaroni, egg noodles, easy melt cheese! Some of the children went to the office during announcements and shared with the campus what they had brought. Did you think of any other foods that started with the letter E?
