December 10-14

Welcome to the second week of Advent!

We have been preparing for the Advent season at school by acting out Random Acts of Kindness.  Mrs. Blackburn has an act of kindness each day she would like all of the children to do to prepare.  

For The Spirit of Christmas Mrs Blackburn has asked that each grade bring in certain items.  It was in the newsletter but I wanted to put in a reminder.  The season is about giving and this is certainly a wonderful opportunity to help those in need.  3Rd grade is responsible for bringing rice, cereal or dried beans.  Some families have already participated and it is greatly appreciated.  Let's see if more of us can help.  Thank you
