Hough St. Paddy’s Day Parade
As a school we participate walking in the Hough St. Paddy’s Day Parade, which is on March 17^th.  Every year Hough Elementary School puts on a St. Patrick’s Day Parade that starts at their school and winds downtown through Main Street.  It has turned into quiet a big local event.  For all those who would like to join us we will meet in front of Hough Elementary School between class release time and 12:30.  It is a good idea to bring a sack lunch and eat while we wait on the start of the parade.

Auction

This year auction will be help on Saturday April 18^th at Big Al’s! Tickets will be $18/person, or $34/couple until April 10^th.  After April 10^th , tickets will be $22/person or $40/couple. This is an adult-only night, and a night where we can have lots of fun, play games and have a good time. Families who purchase auction tickets will get free bowling coupons that can be used at a later date so they can bring their families back to enjoy the fun.
 
This week in the Dragonfly Class 
This week in the Dragonfly Class will be exploring art, we will be mixing colors, painting with different types of brushes and materials.  We have some great books to read this week along with the science of color mixing. We will be painting faces during the week, it is water based pencil that washes off but I just wanted to give you a heads up!

Songs

I know my colors for painting fun 
green like the grass and the yellow sun, 
an orange pumpkin and white snow, 
a red rose and a black crow, 
blue like a mailbox, brown like an ape, 
a pink pig and some purple grapes!
