3rd Quarter Honor Roll

Dear Parents,

Many of you remember Mrs. Rosemary Snow, Mrs. Snow or Ms. Rosemary to the kids. She was librarian here at MPB for many years and shared her love of books with all the MPB children.

After leaving MPB Mrs. Snow was diagnosed with breast cancer. Cancer, in some form, has affected all of us, and until cures are found, will continue to affect us.

Mrs. Snow and her daughter are going to be walking in the Avon Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk this summer to promote awareness and raise money for research. She has let us know that she is raising money for this cause. In an effort to connect to our community and to those affected with cancer, we are going to set up a special day and have all proceeds for that day given to Mrs. Snow for breast cancer research.

On Thursday, May 15 we are going to have a Dress as your favorite Book Character Day. On this day the children are welcome to come dressed as a character from a book. They could be Harry Potter, the Cat in the Hat, Junie B. Jones, Jigsaw Jones, Pippi Longstocking, the possibilities are endless. It doesn't have to be an elaborate costume, it can be something quite simple. We thought having a day to think about our favorite books and characters would help us to think about Mrs. Snow and how she touched all of our lives with her love of literature. It would also help us to remember that there are many people who touch our lives and there are many lives that we touch and it is important to remember those people even when they are not in our daily lives anymore.

On this day the children will be asked to make a donation for Mrs. Snow's walking project - we're not going to put a price on it - they can bring a dime or a dollar - whatever they would like to contribute. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher.

Thank you!
