Our Help is Needed!

Soldiers in the 864th Engineering Battalion need our help!  They are deployed to a remote location in Afghanistan, Combat OutPost Azziz Ullah.  The days are filled with brutal heat and afternoon sandstorms.  Each second grade class will be corresponding with a soldier and will be given the opportunity to send some donations to these amazing men and women.  Our second graders can help by asking family members to donate some items for the soldiers.  Items that they are in need of include:

•       body wash
•       sunscreen
•       deodorant

•       shaving cream
•       tooth brushes
•       toothpaste

•       laundry soap
•       magazines
•       snacks

All items must be to school no later than Friday, October 8th.  The donations will be dropped off Saturday, October 9th to Kensington Community Church so they can get to their destination. 

Thank you in advance for your help!
The Second Grade Team

Scholastic Book Orders

OOPS! Scholastic changed the way they do the online ordering. You will set up your own user name and password for yourself, but you will need the activation code in order to do it.

Online Ordering Information
Web address: scholastic.com/bookclubs
Class Activation Code: GYT28


Here's more information about online ordering.

Now it's easier than ever to find the right books for your child — and help us earn FREE books for our classroom library at the same time!

With new online ordering from Scholastic Book Clubs, you can choose from a much wider selection of books than in the printed flyer. Plus, you can send your orders directly to me online and use your credit card.

Best of all, our class earns a FREE book every time a parent places their order online.

It's so simple! Here's how it works:
  • SIGN UP at www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, click the "Don't have a User Name and Password?" link, then register for your own username and password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code shown above. This code ensures that your order is sent to me.

  • SELECT the books you'd like to order from over 500 titles available online...and take advantage of online-only specials and discounts.

  • SEND your order to me online by the due date. Books will be delivered directly to our classroom, as always.

Of course, you can still order using the form from the printed flyer. But why not experience for yourself how convenient it is to order online?

Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure. Plus our whole class benefits thanks to the FREE books we'll earn with every parent online order.

Go to www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs now to get started.

Thanks so much!

Let the Fun Begin!!


I still can't believe we have started a new year! Where did the summer go?!

We had a great day back. I know this is going to be one great year.

Here is a copy of the supply list if you don't remember getting one in your child's report card. The sooner you can get the supplies, the better. Thanks so much!
