Prettyboy Elementary School will be participating in the M-A-C Recycling Used Clothing Collection Fundraiser. This program supports the DARE Program and our school’s technology fund. The bins will be at Prettyboy from November 9th through November 20th in the cafeteria and by the display case. Students may bring in bags of wearable and used clothing, shoes, belts, handbags, linens, and stuffed animals. Old sneakers and jogging shoes are especially needed. Please bag shoes separately.

Once again Prettyboy Elementary will be participating in the Young Author’s Contest sponsored by the Baltimore County Reading Council and the State of Maryland International Reading Council.  Each school is able to submit several short stories and several poems from each grade levels 2-5 for the contest at the local level.  Winners will be honored by the Baltimore County Reading Council at a reception in May.  Winners from this contest then go to the state level.  Winners at this level are honored at the SOMIRAC conference in April at the Marriott Hunt Valley.
Last day to submit an entry will be January 6, 2010.  I have distributed material to each classroom teacher. However, students are also free to ask me for an entry form or can copy it from this web site. All students who present an entry will be invited to participate in a pizza party.  Last year Prettyboy Elementary submitted more entries than any other school is Baltimore County and we once again had winners at the local level.  We are definitely Prettyboy Proud!!!!
