Class Stocking Drive

I'd like to donate a class stocking for a girl and a boy this year for our school stocking drive. These stockings are donated to local families who are less fortunate. Please send in a new small toy (preferably small because it has to fit in the stocking) for either a boy or girl (or both) age 5-8. This is a great opportunity to teach your child about giving to those who are less fortunate in the spirit of the holiday season. Maybe have your child pick out something at the store to send in. Please send in your new, small gift by Tuesday November 26th. If you would like to do your own stocking to donate, the PTA distributes them in the morning outside of the front office. Thank you!

Field Trip to Treaty Oak and MOSH

The kids had so much fun exploring Treaty Oak and MOSH yesterday. The kids were excited to see the oldest tree in Jacksonville and were amazed by how big the branches are. They also loved exploring the MOSH and learning about Earth, Moon and Sun in the Planetarium. They even played a song from their laser light show! Here are a few pictures from our fun day. A special thank you to Ryder's dad, Mr. Blash for chaperoning!

Real Men Read Night at the Bookfair!

Tomorrow night is Real Men Read Night at the Alimacani Book fair! The book fair is open from 5:30 - 8:00. I will also be there volunteering. :) Special guest readers are the owner of the Jacksonville Suns, Peter Bragan. He will read from 5:30 - 6:30. Also our school board representative, Fel Le, will be here to read at 7:00. We will have service men from the Navy reading that night also. It is sure to be a fun night and a great way to support our Alimacani Library! Come check it out!
