•I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and the long break off from school….!
•This past Wednesday we gathered together in the gym and had a “Thanksgiving Feast.” We enjoyed a lunch together as a school, and counted our many blessings. Thank you to our class moms for organizing dessert and drinks and to all who made it possible by helping in order to make our feast a memorable event!
•I know some parents are considering coming in to be a Mystery Reader…. I strongly encourage you to do so! We can arrange a day convenient for you, morning or afternoon! Please share some time with us for it is a lot of fun for the children. I guarantee that you will have fun too!
