Dear Parents,
Thank you to all of you who supported the students by coming to our Winter Program this past Thursday. Please remember that this coming Friday (Dec. 18th) school will be dismissed at 11:45. There will be no aftercare available and lunch will not be served. We will be having a Christmas party and a craft on December 18th. Please read the flyer, that was sent home last Friday, about the party. Please send store-bought goodies, drinks, or healthy snacks that you'd like your student to share. We have 27 students in our classroom. Thank you in advance for your contribution. Please remember that if you are unable to participate in bringing goodies at this time, it is fine. I understand and would encourage you to participate only if you are able. Just a reminder that Winter Break begins on Friday, December 18th. We will all enjoy a 2 week long winter break.
Please be aware that spelling words are sent home with your child each Friday, unless we are on a break the following week or the copier is unavailable. In case the copier is unavailable I will send them home on a Monday.
Just a reminder that your student should never bring toys to school. They are a distraction. Also, I can not be worried about a student losing the toy and I realize that many of the toys are expensive.
It has been a pleasure teaching your student and I look forward to many more exciting learning experiences with them in 2010.
Happy Holidays,
Mrs. Marlatt

December News!

Dear Parents,
Thank you for the food that was sent for our feast and your support. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It amazes me that we are nearly half way through the school year already, but here we are in the midst of the holidays. Just a reminder that we are having a winter performance on December 10th for 1st-3rd grades. It begins at 6:30 and ends around 7:15. Your child should arrive at the school a half hour early. There is also a winter play on December 17th. It is free! Also, progress reports are going home this Friday and in just two weeks we will be on Winter Break. If there are any parents who have a volunteer card and have been fingerprinted, please let me know. I could use classroom helpers for upcoming crafts on Friday afternoons.
Thank you,
Mrs. Marlatt
