Career Day in May

Career Day is rapidly approaching and we need YOURexperiences! Whether you are a nurse, mechanic, astronaut, custodian or business owner- we need you!

We are looking for a variety of people interested in spending a day talking to our students about their career. Many of our students are unaware of the career opportunities available to them and this is a fantastic way to provide them with first-hand knowledge of potential career paths. This is also a great way for you to get involved with Christie Elementary and make an impact on the students’ future. If you are not interested but know someone who is, please give them (or us) the necessary contact information. The 2017 Christie Elementary Career Day is May 19th from 8:30 – 2:30. Arrangements can be made for half-day participation.

Thank you in advance for your involvement!

Testing is here

Remember our third, fourth, and fifth grade friends will be STAAR testing the next 2 weeks. Please get lots of rest and a yummy breakfast each morning.

Big Week Ahead!

We have one more week before spring break and, it is going to be a very busy week.

Monday: Graduation pictures for kindergarten and fifth grade
Tuesday: Grandparents Day, all grandparents are welcome to join your kids at lunch
Wednesday: Our class day to go to the book fair
Thursday: Open House with the world premier of our class movie Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Friday: Troll assembly (K-2 8:00-9:00, 3-5 9:00-10:00)

We will film our movie on Monday and Tuesday.  Please do not wear green.  It is a strange request but we will film with a green screen.  All this hard work ends with a great prize.  SPRING BREAK!

Get some rest this weekend, we are going to be very busy!

Lost and Found

Good Morning Christie Families!
After only 9 days back from the break, our Lost and Found is full of unclaimed items. We are making some changes to the system:
All items will be kept in the hallway along the office, so you and your student will have an easier time when looking for items that were misplaced.
All items will be donated MONTHLY (at the end of each month) to keep the collection manageable.
The Lost and Found is now stored on the rolling hanging cart for ease of viewing items and will be on display during family nights, such as this Thursday, January 12th, for Fine Arts Night.
Please tell your students to visit the Lost & Found to claim their jackets, hats, etc. as soon as possible.

College Week Next Week!

Next week is college week!  We will celebrate all week long with decorations, sharing college experiences and dressing up!
