Are you ready for some baseball?

We have a fun filled field trip scheduled to go see the Frisco Rough Riders' Stadium on May 11th. If you would like to chaperone, please be sure that you have your background information filled out by April 27th as it takes 2 weeks to run the check. We are so excited and would love to have as many parents there as possible! You can even meet us there. We hope to see you soon!

Frisco Fire Safety Town




Today we had our Field trip to FFST.
We had a blast. We learned about bicycle safety and how to be a safe pedestrian. We walked and rode bikes around the town.
After our tour of the fire house we went to Friendship Park and had lunch and an extended recess. Ms. Cone got a workout pushing little people on the tire swing. So fun!


From the mouths of 3rd graders:
"I won hand signal Simon Says", says Alex.
"What a day!", exclaimed Slick.
"Best time ever!", shouted Vince.
"Fire safety town is the best place to ride bikes! exclaimed KT.
"It was the best time of my life", squealed Jennet.




Thanks moms for coming and helping!

Boosterthon

Dear Anderson Parents,

The Boosterthon Fun Run is in full swing at Anderson, and we are super-excited to have the program at our school again this year! The Fun Run is this Thursday, April 1and that's no joke! We would love to see you out there to support our students if you can make it.

Our team, The Vipers, are excited to be helping our school and learning each day how we can STAND UP to change the world! Please ask your child about the daily character lessons discussed in class with the Boosterthon Team.

The goal of the Boosterthon Fun Run is for students to learn about great character, enjoy fitness, and earn pledges to help their school. Here's where we need your help! We are encouraging each student to find at least five sponsors for the Boosterthon Fun Run. Friends, neighbors, and relatives are all great examples. We've already seen pledges from 33 different states and 11 countries! Can you help us?

We hope to see you at the Fun Run! Our class will be running from 9:30-10:30.
