Important Announcements:
*Happy Veteran’s Day! Thank you so much to all of those that have served in our armed forces. Your sacrifice means more than simple words can say. We are honored by your service!
*Thank you all for attending Monday night’s music program. The kids and Mrs. Dziadosz have worked so hard on this program, and that hard work really paid off! They did a great job!
*A letter was sent home yesterday about a special activity we are doing on November 23rd. Please send in the snack donation by November 22nd. If, for whatever reason, you are not able to do it, just let me know! Thanks!
*Book orders were sent home today. This will be the last order for 2011. They will be sent home again in January. They are due on Friday, November 18th. If you would like to order online, the code is: GVCWL. Let me know if you have any questions!
*The 2011 Spirit Wear Sale order forms were sent home today. If you would like to order something, it is due back by Friday, November 18th.
*Spelling note for next week: There will only be one list for next week’s words. If your child scores a 100% on Monday’s pre-test, he/she will be excused from spelling homework next week and will not have to take the final test on Friday.
*We are doing a special recycling activity the week of Thanksgiving during social studies. If you have any plastic bottles (size does not matter!) that you are going to throw away, will you please send it in no later than Friday, November 18th? Thanks!
*Book-It calendars were sent home on Tuesday, November 1st. Use the calendar to track the number of minutes your child reads. If he/she reads for fifteen minutes, he/she can color in the date on the calendar.
