Parents,

 

We are planning to have a Christmas party on Dec. 17th during lunch time (11:30a-12:30p) in the cafeteria. All classes will be combined for this celebration so we welcome as many parents as possible! Students will be exchanging a wrapped book (include who the book is from so that students don't get their own book!) and are asked to bring one canned food item that will be donated to a local food bank. Please don't spend anymore than $5 on the book.  You can also use donated books instead of purchasing a new book if you prefer.   

Please sign up using the link below to bring food/drink, games or other items on the list and come celebrate as we get ready for our Christmas break!

If your child has any food allergies, please send me an email letting me know what foods we need to avoid.  

The field trip was great today! Tonight please study and complete flashcards. Science flashcards are due tomorrow for a grade. The words are listed on the test information post.
