This included many eBox Tops earned online. If you haven't started utilizing the Box Tops Marketplace, now would be a great time to check it out at http://www.boxtops4education.com/earn/marketplace/Default.aspx.
Campbell's Labels for Education is offering a wonderful opportunity in today's Star Telegram! Inside the Smartsource coupon insert is a voucher to redeem 5 UPCs for 100 points! Please clip this and send it in to your child's teacher. We have plenty of UPCs already turned in that can be attached to boost their point values. Don't forget to send in your Super Save receipts and Coke Reward lids as well. On Friday, I was amazed to receive submissions from 27 classes, an entire basket full! Our submission programs continue through the end of the school year but many items do have expiration dates and need to be submitted in a timely fashion. Monday January 9th is our next PTO Meeting. It will be held in the Library at 3:30pm. We will have a special guest speaker from Tarrant County College's College for Kids summer enrichment program in to talk about the program and offer valuable tips on getting FREE or reduced tuition for your student! You won't want to miss this opportunity to help your little learner!
Sherry and Leigh are busy planning our first Bake Sale! We need bakers and pastry lovers alike! If you'd like to donate some yummy delicious items, please let us know. Details will be coming soon on exact dates and times.

| Second Grade Visits Bass Hall |
 Peter and the Wolf is a story of an adventurous boy and the bravery he demonstrates in trapping a wily wolf. In this performance the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and Metropolitan Classical Ballet masterfully assist in telling the classic tale which is narrated in English and Spanish. Prior to attending the program, second grade students had reviewed the story of Peter and the Wolf and learned to identify instruments of the orchestra both aurally and visually while making connections of language arts and reading, music and theater.The overall mission of The Children’s Education Program at Bass Hall is to help develop students’ creative potential and ensure that the performing arts are a fundamental part of their education. |
| Honoring School Board Member, Mr. Doug Lee |
 Elementary School had the honor of welcoming School Board Member, Mr. Doug Lee, to their campus on January 13th, 2012. He spent the afternoon on a "Fishing trip to Exemplary" hosted by Guide, Associate Prinicipal, Mr. Terry Johnson. Mr. Lee enjoyed touring classrooms from Kindergarten to 3rd grade. In his visits, he participated in classroom activities that incorporated the use of technology tools such as the Smart Board. Other classrooms wrote thank you letters and gave gifts of fishing tackle to add to Mr. Lee's gift of a tackle box. The students spent time getting to know Mr. Lee and his hobby of fishing, while Mr. Lee learned some of the many reasons Castleberry Elementary is an "Exemplary" TEA rated campus. |
