PAWprint September 23, 2022
Hello Bulldog Families!
We had another PAWmazing week here at Mathewson! Thank you to all that wore gold in support of our Going Gold spirit day today. This helped to not only show school spirit but support a good cause as well.
Below is some important information for you to know (some new, some old, but all important... Woof!):
Save the Date for our PTA Sponsored Movie Night! Tuesday, October 4th at 6:30! See Flier and Info here Movie Night Flyer (MemberHub Link is embedded.) Also PTA is selecting random PTA members to win free tickets!!!! Congrats to The Cortez Family (Grade 1) who was our first lucky winner! Check out the Mathewson PTA facebook page for more lucky winners and all kinds of PAWmazing info!
Picture Day isTuesday, October 11th! Save the date and more info to come.
Congratulations to our first set of Bulldog Bus Patrols that were selected this week. We were so excited to have so many applications come in. We will do our best to rotate this position as we see fit over the year. Thank you everyone for your interest that applied!
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.
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!
