Dragon News:Week of 2/12!

Hello Allenwood Families!

Thank you to everyone that attended our February PTG Meeting last week.

We hope everyone had a blast at our first Valentine’s Dance! Our amazing Valentine’s Dance and Bake Sale Committee Heads, Marybeth Richards and Pieper Waitzel, did a fantastic job planning our first Valentine’s Dance. Thank you to the ALL the committee members and Allenwood staff that volunteered and made it such a wonderful event for our Allenwood families!

Below are some reminders, news, and upcoming events to make note of:

Allenwood is celebrating the 100th Day of School!
Monday, 2/12, marks the 100th Day of the 2017-2018 school year.

VALENTINE’S DAY REMINDER!
From Allenwood Administration and Nurses Office:
We would like to stress the importance of food and allergy awareness of the numerous and various (food and non-food) allergies that are present with our students. In an effort to continue an environment where all children can feel included in celebrations, please refrain from sending in candy or any edible treats with your Valentine cards. Thank you for your continued support in keeping Allenwood a safe and healthy environment for all our students.

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART IS UNDERWAY!!
Allenwood School’s Jump Rope for Heart campaign is underway! With this initiative, our students and families learn how to take care of their hearts and have an opportunity to give back to the community by collecting donations to help save lives of those living with and suffering from heart disease. In addition, our school earns money for PE equipment, so we can keep our kids moving!
Last week, the students all brought home a packet from the American Heart Association. Included is a promise coupon (found on the bottom left corner of the donation form). When your child raises $5 for JRFH, turn this in and your child will receive their 1st Scare Squad character, Jax and a monster clasp. This needs to be done by TOMORROW, 2/12.
In addition to American Heart Association’s “thank you” gifts, for every $100 raised online, your child will be entered into a raffle for the following:
• Sports Prize Pack
• Mrs. Salt for the Day
• Mr. Maritt for the Day
• Wawa lunch with a friend
• Plush Friends
Go to www.heart.org/jump to get started today. Allenwood School’s big jump day is March 5th!
