Dear Parents and Guardians,
Students will be reading the book “Balloons Over Broadway” during library class in the next few weeks. This book tells the story of how the Macy’s Day Parade Balloons began. We would like to challenge our students and families to make a balloon character or animal for our parade. Students should bring their balloons to school on Monday, Nov. 20th or Tuesday, Nov. 21st. Our parade will begin on Tuesday, Nov. 21st at 8:30 a.m. Students who are participating will carry their balloons in our parade.
What would a parade be without floats? Maybe a balloon is too much for you? I would love to also have some students make shoebox floats. The shoeboxes should be about “Thanksgiving” or “Christmas”. Each “float” should have a string for the student to pull it down the hall. I will be posting some examples on social media and showing the students in class. I want to give you plenty of time to begin planning your projects. These “floats” will also be due on Monday, Nov. 20th or Tuesday, Nov. 21st.
Remember, this is supposed to be fun and family engaging. All students who do participate will receive a small token of appreciation.
Good Luck and Happy Crafting,
Darla Grob

Only two more days !
These members have been participating in the National Beta Founder’s Day Countdown. Each member completed about 14 random acts of kindness.
To end our countdown we participated in a nationwide service project.
Each Beta member read a Halloween themed book to every class at Northside Elementary. They even dressed up as their book character! 📚 🎃
They provided each student with a sweet treat & a coloring sheet that said “Make Today Count” 🍬🖍️
