Back to School Breakfast {tomorrow!}:
Centerpieces
I have had these metal cups for a few years now, I used them at my old school. They are perfect to mark teams to sit together. I placed a Styrofoam square inside & stuck wooden dowels in the foam. Then used $1 store items & hot glue for the decoration {Theme: Back to School / Colors: Red, White, Black}. I just filled it with tissue paper & some of that "filler stuff" {can't remember what it is called...}.

School Supply Cake 
for raffle!
This is my 3rd time making this one... Click {HERE} for the directions & info....

Parent Board
See where I got my inspiration for this by clicking {HERE}.
I was at first I was going to make an all "Reading Info" board... But didn't want to leave out other things that parents can do at home. So I included: Reading, Writing, Technology, PBIS & Math. Every month or two we can change what's in each pocket out b/c I used clear sleeves so they could be interchangeable. I bought my supplies at Walmart & my board at Michael's with a 40% off coupon. We are going to keep this up in the front office for parents.
