School Holiday
Happy New Year and welcome back to
school! I'm looking forward to a great
spring semester. The calendars fill up
quickly when we come back, so please
be aware that Monday, January 19th,
is a school holiday. We would like to
welcome all of our new students and
families that moved in over the break.

We anticipate another dynamic semester of singing. Rehearsals will resume
Tuesday, January 13, from 3-4 PM. See you then!

News
On January 13th and 14th fourth grade will have an author come to
visit Buckalew Elementary. H.J. Ralles will be presenting a writing
workshop to encourage creativity in both starting and writing a story
along with other important aspects of writing.
Ms. Ralles will have many of her books for sale that day. An order
form was sent home with fourth graders before the break. Please
return these forms with either cash or a check made out to "H.J.
Ralles" on or before January 13th. All checks must include your birth
date and drivers license number. If you need another order form
please send me an e-mail at mlaird@conroeisd.net and I will send
one home with your child.
It's almost time for Bluebonnet voting! I hope your 3rd and 4th graders
have enjoyed reading the books on this year's nominee list. The
deadline for the completion of 5 books on the current list, with an AR
score of at least 60%, is January 16th. Students who complete these
requirements will be able to attend the Bluebonnet voting lunch party,
where they will participate in a state-wide election to choose this
year's Bluebonnet winner. Please remember that this is an optional
library program.
Happy Reading!
