*Attention parents-

 

We are pleased to announce that your child and staff at Delaware Trail helped set a new JAM world record for the most people exercising at one time for a healthy lifestyle.  On Thursday, September 26th, 1,354,714 people did a series of exercises to music. Several senior football players and our favorite Brownsburg bulldog helped lead us.  Congratulations DT!

*Spelling words went home today in the Family Times newsletter printed on yellow paper.  They always go home the Friday before so that your child has a week to study them.  The words can be found under Day 4, and they are highlighted.  We do take the tests on the computer using www.spellingcity.com/awhisman. 

*The end of the first nine weeks is today!  Report cards will be available online starting Friday, October 11th. 

*Parent / Teacher conferences will be held Wednesday, October 9th and Thursday, October 10th.  I will do my very best to keep on schedule.  Please help me out by making sure you are on time to your scheduled conference.  If for some reason you can no longer attend the conference at the date and time scheduled, please let me know immediately so we can get it rescheduled. 

*We will have a very special guest speaker with us on Wednesday, October 9th.  Kim Brown, sister of author Marc Brown, will be speaking to the second grade from 10:10 – 11:10.  What a great opportunity for us! 

*Fall Break is October 14th – October 27th.  Enjoy! 

*PTSG is sponsoring a Dine to Donate at the Avon Chick-Fil-A on Wednesday, October 30th from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.  Students are encouraged to attend and wear their costumes.  Fun! 

*Mrs. Dziadosz and Mrs. Fowler are already preparing for our Veteran’s Day program.  Please see the flier attached to the weekly e-mail if you would like to honor a veteran during the program! 

*I believe in building relationships with the children both inside my classroom and outside the classroom.  If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports, dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come! 

*The blog will also be updated with this information as well so if you need to see it again visit http://misswhisman.blogspot.com .
