Mathewson Elementary School
PAWprint September 16, 2022
Hello Bulldog Families!
We had a PAWmazing full week here at Mathewson! Thanks to the families that attended our Virtual PTA Meeting on Tuesday and Open House on Thursday. It was so good to start engaging with our families again. We look forward to seeing you more as we start building our social calendars, thanks to the collaboration of our PTA. Don’t forget next Wednesday is an early dismissal day (@ 1:25 pm) for professional learning and next Friday is our first spirit day!
Below is some important information for you to know (some new, some old, but all important... Woof!):
Water Bottles: Please be sure your child brings a water bottle daily. Classrooms are still a bit stuffy and hot. We do have refillable stations throughout the school.
Sneakers Please! To make sure your child is ready for PE and recess daily it is a good idea to wear sneakers. This helps ensure their safety best as they play.
Mathewson’s First Spirit Day: We hope you will join in the fun of spirit days this year. Students and staff will get the opportunity to participate in a number of days where we can wear different items just for fun. If you don’t have that particular item, no worries! Our first spirit day is Friday September 23rd. We will be wearing GOLD!!! Feel free to do it up in a pawmazing color since we are so PAWmazing. Also this gold helps to show support for an important cause: Pediatric Cancer Awareness. We hope you might want to participate and shine bright!
Check out what’s happening this year thanks to our PTA! This calendar will be updated as events are added or changes take place. Check out our upcoming PTA Sponsored Events Here!
Our first fundraiser of the year is coming soon. See information below!
