We are not having any regular daily papers or tests this week. It is a short week and I am going to be out this Friday. I'm heading to Washington D.C. to see my son, his wife and my grandson for Thanksgiving. He recently moved there and it would be our first Holiday without him. My daughter and her family, who still live here, are coming along, too! I'm going to have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I hope you and your families all have a Blessed Thanksgiving as well!!

Please, please, please make sure your child isn't bringing any toys or Pokemon cards to school. They are very distracting and keeping them from focusing on school. I have quite the collection in my desk drawer! Thank you for your help!!!

Our Christmas program will be on Tuesday, December 11 at 6:00 p.m. Students will need to be in the gym with our class by 5.30. The first grade teachers are taking care of costumes (shirts and hats). Students will need to wear jeans and school shoes. We will also need several students to bring small rolling suitcases. Mrs. Day asked for about 14. Please email me if your child has one and can bring it. I will allow the first 7 to do suitcases. The other class will do the rest.

Please be sure to send in money so that Mrs. Devine can finish the Bright Stars Basket before the deadline. They are supposed to be done before Thanksgiving break.
