2.3.19 Principal Notes

Dear McKelvie Families~

I suspect there will be a lot of tired kids at school tomorrow! Win or lose, it is sure to be an amazing game. Kids can wear their fan gear tomorrow.

The groundhog did not see his shadow yesterday, which means an early spring! Apparently it's actually coming this Monday and Tuesday with temps in the 50's and 60's!

Important Dates:
Feb. 5th 7:00pm Deliberative Session at BHS Auditorium
Feb. 5th 3:30pm Talent Show Tryouts (Instruments Only)
Feb. 6th 3:30pm Talent Show Tryouts (All other acts)
Feb. 14th 3:30pm Frozen Tryouts
Feb. 15th 3:30pm Frozen Tryouts

Drama Cub News:
The McKelvie Drama Club is now open for auditions for this year's musical, Frozen!  Originally we were performing Beauty and the Beast.  The rights to Frozen became available on Monday, so we are now performing Frozen as it has not been done in the area yet.  Auditions will be Feb. 14th and 15th. Please click HERE for additional information about Drama Club as well as to sign up for auditions.

Box Top Hot Chocolate Party Contest Update:
The Box Tops for Education has their next semi-annual submission deadline of March 1st. We have vacation the last week of February so make sure you submit all of your box tops to your homeroom teacher by the 20th of February. Your homeroom may just win a hot chocolate celebration. Check your pantries and kitchen cabinets for any box tops. They do expire and the school gets no credit for those expired box tops. Remember to cut or rip carefully. The four digit code and expiration date must be legible on each box top.

Paper Retriever Recycling
Unfortunately, the green and yellow paper recycling containers (Paper Retriever), which were available to parents/community members have been removed from the district’s schools as this company has gone out of business. Therefore, there will no longer be any containers available on school grounds for the public.


Library News:
The 4th "Search Slip" raffle was held for the month of January! The "Search Slips" are filled out with the title of the book, the author's last name, and the call number. This is done when students are looking for a book using the online catalog. The student then has an opportunity to write his/her name on the back of the "Search Slip" and enter a monthly raffle! January's raffle winner was from Mr. Facque's homeroom. Julia received a $5.00 gift certificate for a sweet treat. Click HERE to see an Adobe Spark.
The weather looks to be warming up! Have a great weekend. ~Mrs. Cote

MIS Kitchen News:
The breakfast program will be featuring a delicious and nutritious Maple Banana Smoothie. It’s loaded with fresh bananas, pear, protein packed Greek yogurt and a touch of real maple syrup. This smoothie is featuring a local producer, Ben’s Sugar Shack in Temple NH. Maple syrup has a nutritional profile to speak about, with its high nutrient content of zinc to help boost the immune system, along with other essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. By far, this natural sweetener is set apart from refined sugar. In addition to breakfast combo meals, the kitchen will be offering a homemade Berrylicious Blueberry Muffin. This lovely, healthy treat will keep you feeling satisfied with lots of long lasting energy, powerful antioxidants and fiber. Start the school day off with a bang and don't miss out on these healthy wholesome NEW breakfast items.
