Friday’s field trip was so much fun! Thanks to all the parents who transported and helped.

Please remember Wednesday is our Thanksgiving luncheon at Hollins. The children will be dismissed at 1:00 from Hollins. Please let me know if you are not attending. You will need to pick –up your children at the Hollins cafeteria at 1:00 if you do not attend. The children do not need to bring their bags or folders to school.

The Spanish Festival sponsored by the Bolivian exchange students will be held Monday the 29th. The children will have the opportunity to learn about many South American Countries and taste their native foods.

On pizza days please remember to send your child with a fruit break. Also you might want to send something to go with their pizza such as a drink or snack.

On Friday December 3rd. The children will walk over to Hollins for a winter carnival sponsored by Hollins students. They will leave here a 10:45 and arrive back at 12:15. Please make sure your child is dressed warm and has proper foot wear for walking.

A reminder we will continue to be outside when the weather is cold. Please make sure your child is dressed for the cold morning weather.
Book fair please read Quick Notes for school wide book fair news. Remember we would like to invite you to pizza day on December 8th. The children will perform “The Little Red Hen” and sing a song they have learned in music. You will also be able to visit the book sale to do some holiday shopping. The children will make a wish list for you. Please send your money for pizza in Wed. morning. Each slice is a dollar.

Community service project. We are still collecting canned goods for the low-income senior citizens who lives at Melrose Towers. If you look back at my last blog it lists items in need. We will be collecting until December 10th. Remember every little bit helps. Thanks you in advance.

On a personal note I will be taking some personal time off from December 1-3rd. I am going to Florida to visit my Dad. As some of you know my Dad has been very sick and has recently had surgery. His recovery is not going very well. I feel the need to see him, as well as, to help my sister with his care. Please keep my Dad in your prayers. Bernie Walsh will be subbing for me. He often subs for Elena in Spanish so the children know him well.
