Goodall Update 12-1-2016

We hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday!   

On Thursday, December 8th, the Goodalls will be traveling to the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks.  We will leave Mayo at 9:30 and return to Mayo at 2:00.
The student’s admission is paid, but if you are attending, you will need to pay the entrance fee of $10.00 + tax.  When you arrive at the aquarium, go to the entrance and tell them you are with Mayo Demonstration School so you can get the discounted fee.  We could still use a few more volunteers to go with us.  If you are available please reply to this email and we will put you on our list.  Thank you!

There is NO SCHOOL tomorrow, December 2nd.  This is a professional day for teachers.

December 21st will be our annual pajama day in the Goodall area. Students are able to wear their PJs to school and enjoy hot cocoa, a snack and a holiday movie.  

Roots Parents, we sent home a packet of Literacy activities for your child to do over the weekend.  These do not need to be returned, but we encourage you to work with your child on these skills.
It’s a very exciting time of the year and the students are especially excited about the upcoming holiday.  Please talk to your child about making good choices and following procedures at school.  We want every child to have the opportunity to learn.  Thank you.
