Spring is slowly blooming in the yards around Scales.  The grass is getting greener and the threat of snow and ice smaller.  With spring come more sports and activities for the children.  The same is true at school!   

Scales third annual Family Movie Night is Friday March 7^th.  We will be showing the Academy Award winning Ratatouille in Webster Hall at 6:30 pm.   Bring your blankets, beach chairs and munchies!  PTO will be offering water bottles.  Admission is free, but this is a great time to bring a gently used book from home to donate to Warner Elementary.  Donna Bayless and Elizabeth Crockett will be conducting the Spring Book Drive the following week and would love the donations.  Plus, your shelves will have room for your Spring Bookfair purchases!   That’s right- the Bookfair will be open Movie Night for buying and browsing.  The theme is Road Trip- perfect for getting great reading material for those Spring Break car trips. The Bookfair continues through the 14^th.   On the 4^th of the month, Run Club with Mrs. Moseley resumes.  The week of the 10^th we will hold the first of three parenting classes with Jim Williams, child specialist on Monday at 6:00-7:30. Please reserve your spot by emailing Mrs. McNamee or Ms. Lipscomb.  That Tuesday the 11^th order your Papa John’s Pizza and don’t miss the Spring Chorus Concert at 7:00, following a very brief but important PTO meeting.  We will announce the slate of board nominees for the 2008-2009 school year and give an update on recent expenditures.   The slate will be voted on at the last general PTO meeting to be held before the school play in May.   The chorus will again perform at our last Chick-Fil-A Night for this year on the 13^th. 

Make sure these April dates are on your calendar!  April 11^th, Mustang Roundup!  Karen Robbins and her committee and working hard planning this terrific spring party.  April 21^st- Scales’ Inaugural Golf Scramble at Temple Hills Golf Club.  Please contact Janis Gaudette if you are interested in this fun event.  April 25^th- Health and Safety Fair coordinated by Erin Martin and Melissa Collins.    On the same day Scales will be sponsoring a Red Cross Blood drive and John Gallagher and the crew from Darrell Waltrip Honda-Volvo will be here for test drives benefiting Scales.  For every test drive we take they will donate $10.00 to our school.  So please come drive a car and give a pint!  

Enjoy this busy season and have a safe and happy Spring Break!
