Wk 14 Newsletter

Quote of the week: Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. ~Theodore Roosevelt

November Greetings!

Welcome back to school! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I would like to say a special thanks to all our veterans for defending our freedom!

Students’ spelling scores have decreased over the past two weeks. Please be sure to help your child study each night! I know we can do better!

Watch for progress reports and other important information in folders later this week!

Important Reminders

• We have P.E. on Monday and Wednesday of this week. Be sure to wear tennis shoes on those days!

• Be sure to initial behavior and homework sheets each night! Remember to read your AR book as part of your homework.

• Send in Box Tops and Campbell’s Soup labels. We would love to win! ☺

• Ice Cream on Fridays for students earning blue and green throughout the week. Ice cream is $0.50.
