I don't know about all of you, but I have had ENOUGH snow for the winter season! With the coming of spring, there are quite a few activities to look forward to around Scales, as well as wrapping up a busy February.  I want to begin by giving a huge thanks to our fabulous Hospitality Committee.  Muffins for Mom was once again a huge hit thanks to the tireless efforts of Tanya Capeling, Susan Miller and Cathy Fridge along with all their dad helpers.  Job well done!

 Last Friday night, we had our Fifth Grade Talent Show.  Thanks to Susan Day and the 4^th and 5^th grade leadership team for all their hard work making this a fantastic event!

 Spring Pictures are scheduled for March 4th, so get ready to smile!  Our first annual Songwriter’s Night is set for Sunday night, March 14^th, at Richland Country Club.  If you have a child ready to come to school next year, remember Kindergarten Registration on March 16^th.  Also, Sneak-a-peek will be April 27^th.

 We will kick off our Spring Book Fair, coordinated by Nancy Tirrill and Dawn Bart, the week of March 22-26.  Book Fair is a great time to encourage your children to choose a new and exciting book to read~ It's fun for adults too! 

 On March 2^nd, we will have Skate Day, and don't forget to order from Papa John's Pizza on March 9^th.  Our Spring Chorus will be held on Tuesday evening, March 23rd following a very brief, but important PTO meeting.  We will announce and vote on the slate for this coming year's PTO board.   

Looking ahead to the last couple of months of school (WOW!), mark your calendars for these big events coming up in April and May... 

Spring Break on April 2^nd-11^th,

TCAP testing April 19^th-22^nd,

Mustang Roundup on April 30^th,
