Welcome to the first Cyclone Chatter!! What an awesome name – A BIG THANKS goes out to Faith for submitting the winning Title. Also, a big thanks to the rest of the kids for your nominations! Next weeks will be jam packed with news!

We will start the Student Spotlight next Week. We do have a small problem though. We are still missing quite a few fact sheets about our students. Some of them were sent home and some were done in class. Students – if you have not turned your into Mrs. Mlnarik, please do so. That way you have an opportunity to be a Spotlight Student!! Mrs. Mlnarik is also still missing some School Blog/Weekly Newsletter Permission forms. If you want your picture or name printed, Mrs. Mlnarik needs to have your parents sign off! Along with that, please make sure your School-Parents Compact sheets have been signed and sent back to school!
September is Leukemia/Lymphoma Awareness Month and the Cyclone VB Teams has decided to sell T-Shirts to help raise money for these Foundations! Order forms for T-Shirts have been sent home with your son/daughter. Every T-Shirt sold, the VB Team will send in $2 to the Foundations. They are also asking that if you buy a shirt to wear it to the Volleyball Games Sept. 8th – 12th!! If you have lost your form, please find a VB Player, Mrs. Mlnarik or stop in the office and they will get you another one! Please consider helping fight these horrible diseases!

Posts have been added to the Clearwater Elementary Site Blog! Mrs. Mlnarik is very new to this and is learning as she goes! She can’t wait to start adding all the awesome things that are happening in our school!! Make sure you let your grandparents know where to find the Blog also!!

Parent Reading Tips:
**Don’t leave home without it!
Bring along a book or
magazine and time your child
has to wait, such as doctor’s
office. Always try to fit in
reading!!
**Talk, talk, talk!
Talk with your child every day
about School and things going
on around the house! Sprinkle
some interesting words into
the conversation, and build on
words you’ve talked about in
the past
