Homework help:  I will not be having homework help on Thursday, January 19.  I have an appointment.  Thank you for your understanding.

Driving for field trips:  Please remember that if you are driving for field trips, the security gate is locked during school hours; therefore, you will need to load and unload students on the 27th street side of the school.  I know it may be a bit inconvenient, but we must always remember that safety is the top priority.

International night:  This will be February 8, and our class will be presenting Italy.  Please let me know if you have any items from Italy that we could have on display at our booth.  Also, we are looking for volunteers to prepare foods from Italy to hand out at our booth.  You can earn volunteer hours for cooking.  Also, we will be needing parents to work at the booth (again---volunteer hours).  So far we have volunteers to cook lasagna and raviolis.  We still need more food, as well as volunteers to work at the booth handing out samples on that evening.  

Thank you to the following parents/grandparents for volunteering to cook/bake:
Mrs. Bianchi-raviolis
Mrs. Olivares-lasagna
Mrs. Hunter-ricotta cookies

We could still use another dish to hand out for samples...If you are interested, please let Mrs. Lorenzi know.  We also need volunteers to work at the booth!

Our school's biggest fundraiser, the auction, is fast approaching.  The 6th grade has an amazing photo on wood created at woodsnap.  If you would like to see it, please stop by the office.  I'm sure you will love it and want to bid on it on auction night!  Also, please send in $6 to help cover the cost of our class's item.  Please put the $6 in an envelope and mark it auction donation, Katie Bernard.

Thank you, Mrs. Bernard, for organizing and creating such a special auction item!
