Don't be ALARMED! We can't wait for this Wednesday, January 15th, as we partner with our community emergency responders in celebration of Welcome Wednesdays at Terry Redlin Elementary! If you see emergency lights going off at the school to start the day this Wednesday, DON'T BE ALARMED, that's just how we roll for Welcome Wednesdays when our emergency responders come to welcome our students to school from 7:30am-8:00am.
Terry Redlin Elementary students with perfect attendance had the chance to pie their teachers in the face this week! We had 44 students who were in school every day for the 2nd quarter! During our all school assembly to celebrate their attendance, students counted down to see their classmates splatter the staff with a whipped cream pie! We have the best students and staff at Terry Redlin and we love celebrating how great they are!
Our theme for attendance during the 2nd quarter was, "Attendance is a Big Dill". 44 students had perfect attendance this quarter and were able to celebrate with Rochelle Holloway, Attendance Liaison, and their parents by having a dill pickle prior to our school wide assembly on Thursday! 24 students have had perfect attendance all year! Way to go, students!
There is no school on Friday, January 10th as this is a teacher work day. Enjoy the 3-day weekend!

Celebrate Church has generously put together a food bag with meat, vegetables, and lot of food for ALL families at our school. There will also be recipes in the bag! Every oldest child will come home with this large, heavy bag tonight after school.
