I mean who can resist this?!

Choc. Glazed- $6

Lemon Filled- $6

Raspberry- $6

Crème Filled- $6 

Choc. Glazed & Creme filled $7

Orders and money due: Monday, October 3
Doughnuts delivered: Monday, October 10

And the 2nd fundraiser...

PTO is selling Butter Braids. If you're like me you have no idea what that is! If you want to read more visit:www.butterbraid.com. I must admit I did not purchase any of these last year but will for sure this year! They come frozen (easy enough right), you simply get it out of the freezer, let it sit out and rise, then bake and serve. Many people talked about how they used them last year during the holidays and they were a yummy pastry! They look small and are $12 but during the "rising" phase the size doubles and you can serve lots of people!

I mean how yummy does that look?! And it comes frozen for you to use at your convenience! 

So... go ahead and place your orders for both! 

Doughnuts can be enjoyed immediately and butter braids can be enjoyed when you run out of doughnuts!

Think about all those 400+ children you can instantly help through these two fundraisers in which you get yummy food to enjoy! An awesome deal!

Fun Friday

Everyday in PE is fun, but Friday's are always Fun Friday! The kids play and behave all week in order to have Fun Friday. This usually means free play on the playground where they are able to exercise, explore, and build friendships.

As you know, we've had a rainy week this week so we were able to get outside a little during the week, but Thursday evening brought lots of rain which meant water under some swings and lots of mud! I decided to stay in our nice gym and have a Wii day! We "just danced" and the kids loved it as always! I was sure glad we were just dancing when it started to rain again sometime after lunch!

Kindergarten dancing! These kids are awesome! It doesn't matter the song selection they cheer loudly with excitement and dance away!

Kindergarten teachers even stay to dance! 

4th grade teachers do too but I somehow failed to get a picture of Mrs. Rawlinson :)

And my 4th grade boys love "Can't Touch This" 

which was popular when I was in elementary school!

Have a great weekend! Don't forget to get your JSU Fun Run forms turned in! We already have 2 kindergarten students signed up to go! 

JSU Fun Run

Good morning! I know many of your children LOVE to run so today I am sending home information for a JSU Fun Run that is for children ages "walking" through 6th grade!

The cost of the race is only $10 and that includes a t-shirt for your child if you register by October 7.

The race will be held on Saturday, October 22 at the track on the campus of Jacksonville State University. Race times are listed on the information sheet you will be getting today!

I will be at the race that morning and would love to see as many of my Iola children there as possible! If your child doesn't make it home with the information sheet just e-mail me and I will get you one by e-mail! You can e-mail at iolapollard@yahoo.com. If you have older/younger children I would love to see them sign up and race too!

Have a great Thursday!

Homecoming!

It has been a while since I've updated, but we have been very busy bees at Iola! Last week was Homecoming for Pell City High School so on Friday we all celebrated!

Each year we have a system wide pep rally at the high school which means that every child, teacher, and staff member from the system attends this pep rally. It is always lots of fun and our kids really enjoy themselves. While there they get to see the football team, hear the band, and cheer with the cheerleaders! It is a great time for everyone!

Two first graders loving the pep rally :)

The Iola Men :)

Coach Green and the fabulous Mrs. Donaldson

The elementary schools always compete in a tug-of-war competition. Well... this was our year! Iola finally won the tug-of-war competition! We credit this to all of the workouts we got in while moving out and back into Iola :)

Coach Green and two strong ladies :)

Team Iola pulling and the tug of war coach (Mrs. Mitchell!)

We are already having a great week at Iola! The lower grades are working on tossing and catching a ball (this is harder than you think!) and the upper grades have been introduced to my pedometer program and we are on our way to counting our steps while exercising in PE!
