2008 Pima Butte Field Day

Pima Butte's Annual Field Day will take place this year on Friday, April 18th! What a great way to end a week worth of hard work testing. Our team colors for this year's event will be PURPLE! Students can be creative putting together their uniform. We will make class posters for the event. Our 5th grade buddies would like to make team visors for that day. I will be requesting $1.00 from each student to assist with the purchase of the visors. I will be sending a note home this week. If you are able to volunteer that day to assist with any events, please let me know or contact Mrs. Jones, our PE teacher, directly!!

Terra Nova Testing



Monday, April 7th and Tuesday, April 8th, 2nd grade students across the district will be taking the Terra Nova test. This is a state standardized test that is mandatory.
In order to increase attendance, Mr. Montoya is offering some great incentives to students! Each day that students are on time to school, they will have the opportunity to win some great prizes being raffled off for the week. There are 4 brand new bicycles!!! Yes, 4! MP3 players, games and much much more!
Please encourage your student to get a good nights sleep. Eat a healthy breakfast and bring a healthy lunch. We have been discussing great test taking strategies that will hopefully ease any stress. Students have been encouraged to bring water bottles with them also.
There will be no homework, except for the 15 minutes of reading on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Our regular homework routine will begin on Thursday, April 10th.
