💙💛 Teamwork makes the dream work! 💛💙

Our Dolphins were putting their teamwork skills to the test in Coach White’s PE class! 🐬 From communicating and cooperating to figuring out how to move together without anyone taking a tumble 😂, they were working hard and having fun!

We love seeing teamwork in action at Floyd! 💪🐬

🦖💙 **Our BuddiesRus Fundraiser is Here!** 💛🐬

We are excited to kick off our **BuddiesRus Fundraiser** at J.D. Floyd! Funds raised will go directly toward supporting the students and families of our school.

⭐ **Here’s how it works:**
Registration takes less than 5 minutes! Once registered, families can share their student’s fundraiser with friends and family through email, text, or social media. Supporters can make online donations, and students earn **Buddy Coins** to redeem for prizes they choose from the online prize store, including the opportunity to build their very own 16" Buddy at our Prize Day celebration!

🦕 **And then there are the DINOS!**
Students can earn Dino World Collectible Keychains throughout the fundraiser. Students can receive their **first Dino just for registering and sending 5–10 emails or text messages** to family and friends. They can earn additional collectible Dinos as they reach fundraising levels from $25 through $500!

🎉 There are even more chances to win:
• Raise $25 during the Week One Challenge to earn a Sweet Tooth Dino with a chocolate bar
• The top class gets **Big Kahuna Dino for the day!**
• Raise $100 during Week Two for a chance to win a Spirit Package
• Raise $200 during Week Two for a chance to win a **$50 gift card**

📅 **Fundraiser ends Tuesday, September 15!**

Fundraising flyers with registration information will be coming home with students tomorrow. We’ve also included a video below that explains the program and all the fun students can earn along the way.

Thank you for supporting our Floyd Dolphins! 💙💛🐬

🍎 SEPTEMBER IS ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH! 🍎
EVERY DAY COUNTS!
Be Present. Be Engaged. Be Successful.
Regular school attendance is one of the most important factors in student success. Students who attend school consistently are more likely to:
✅ Achieve higher academic success
✅ Build positive relationships with teachers and peers
✅ Stay on track for graduation
✅ Develop strong habits for future careers and life
DID YOU KNOW?
Missing just 2 days per month can add up to 18 days in a school year, making it harder for students to keep up with learning and classroom activities.
HOW FAMILIES CAN HELP
📅 Establish a daily routine for bedtime and mornings
🚌 Plan appointments outside of school hours whenever possible
📚 Encourage your child to attend school every day unless they are ill
📞 Communicate with the school regarding absences
ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
Every lesson, every assignment, and every school day provides valuable opportunities for learning and growth.
LET'S MAKE ATTENDANCE A PRIORITY THIS SEPTEMBER!
Together, families, schools, and communities can help every student succeed.
