Edinburg Common School Randy W. Teetz Superintendent Edinburg Family and Friends, February 2015 Our annual Spelling Bee will be held on January 26, 2015 and will be coordinated by Mrs. Celeste English. The winner and runner up this year will be announced in the March edition of the Newsletter, and the winner will represent Edinburg Common School at the Capital Region Spelling Bee at Proctor’s Theater on February 24, 2015. Edinburg Common School has started its 2015-2016 school budget meetings, with the first meeting being held on January 26. Meetings will be held on Mondays, from 3:30-5:00 p.m. in the school library, on an as needed basis. Budget meetings are open to the public so feel free to join in and learn the budget process for the school district. DID YOU KNOW: Scientists estimate that up to 80% of infections are spread by hand. That means a simple step “HAND WASHING” is the top way to stay well and avoid missing school. Here are some helpful tips to share with your child: · Wash Properly – Wet hands, lather with soap, and wash for 20 seconds. It takes about this long to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice. · Include all parts of the hands – front, back, fingernails, between fingers, etc. · Wash hands often – especially before eating. Soap and water work best. · Sneeze or cough – into your elbow instead of your hand to reduce the spread of germs to others. Source: C.

Practices are already well underway, with the first game for both teams on February 5th, at home, against Mayfield. This year, the 3rd and 4th grade team has a four game schedule with some additional interscholastic competitions. The 5th and 6th grade team is looking at a seven game season. Also this year, we are happy to announce that both teams will be getting new uniforms. In order to make this happen the players have been holding a “candy bar” fundraiser. Additionally, the Edinburg PTO has agreed to match the amount of money raised by the players to help with the purchasing of the new uniforms. So, if you see one of the players, please help by making a purchase or donation to this worthwhile cause. WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE GAMES.......GO EAGLES!!!!!! |
