These are exciting times in the third grade classrooms at Central Elementary School in Dexter. This is a very competitive hallway where lines have been drawn and contest have been designed in hopes of raising money for classroom activities during this school year.
You won’t want to miss the McTeacher’s Night at McDonalds here in Dexter. Mark your calendar and be sure to get involved as the teachers from the third grade hallway will be taking over the drive-thru and service counter at McDonalds.
McTeacher’s Night will be September 17th, you will be give your orders to the teachers such as Ms. Waddle, Ms. Strong, Mr. Clark, Mrs. Nichols and a host of others that will participate. The hours are from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, so make it a point to be there during those times.
And just for fun, the ShowMe Times would like for you to use your cell phone and take pictures of the teachers hard at work. Send those pictures to news@showmetimes.com and we will sure to get those teachers properly recognized for their charitable efforts.
And there is more to it! The classroom with the greatest attendance will receive a “Fun Movie Day” at school. Just a little motivation to be sure your child sets you up with a Big Mac or Filet-O-Fish for dinner that night.
It is a great cause and will be a lot of fun, so be sure to invite your family, friends, relatives and co-workers to be at McDonalds for McTeacher Night on September 17th, 2012 between the hours of 5 and 7 PM. The kids of the third grade hallway will thank you!!!

Teachers frantically prepare their rooms for these very important guests so that everything is perfect. The open house is a great opportunity for the students to "show-off" their teachers and introduce them to their families.
If you passed by the schools, you would have noticed a large crowd attending. Southwest Elementary opened their doors from 5:30 to 6:00 and Central Elementary held their event from 6:00 to 6:30.
"Southwest had a great turn out for Grandparents," noted Shannon Putnam. "My students were so excited to have their grandparents there!"
Shannon continued, "Never have their desks been cleaner. I know I had many comment on the size of our classrooms, how colorful and inviting the rooms were."
The pride of the students is felt from both sides of the coin as they are equally as proud to show off their grandparents as they are to show their family's their "desk". The event is very short but does create a very positive experience for all that attend.
This is one of the few times that the grandparents are honored with a social visit to the schools. From the size of the crowd, you can see that few wanted to miss that opportunity."It is always a thrill for both the kids and their grandparents to attend this event," commented Heather Waddle. "We all get excited about Grandparent's Night."
Throughout October, the schools will have another special occasion as the student's parents are invited to join their child for lunch in the cafeteria. Parents are all hoping that their date falls on the menu days of cinnamon rolls or no-bake cookies.
For those that have, shall we say, "grown larger in stature", the challenge could be just sitting at the lunch tables provided for the students.
The size of the tables will not match the size of the smiles and happiness that is felt when "mom and dad" come to school to eat. Watch the announcements for your students and make that day special.
Special Thanks to Amy Pixley and Shannon Putnam for providing the ShowMe Times with great pictures of their students special evening.
