Thank you:  Thank you so much for the response to our need to find homes for kittens.  The kittens are now all in good homes.  My parents decided to keep 2, and the other 4 found very loving homes.  Meet Scarlett and Charlie...the two that my parents are keeping.

Your help is needed:  We do not have enough drivers to visit the elderly on Wednesday 11/8.  We are having a prayer service for the elderly at Park Merced at 11AM.  Please email if you have not signed up but are able to drive.
______________________________________
 Homework help:  I enjoy offering homework help to my students; however, lately, we have some students who are choosing to not use their time wisely.  If they wish to stay at homework help, they must be working on homework or studying.  They may work together, but they may not just sit and visit.  Please discuss the importance of this with your student.  If they are not productive on homework, they will be sent to extended care.  We must teach our children to use their time wisely and to persist even when work is difficult.  They should not give up on the work and use the time to talk.  Persistence is a wonderful skill that they can learn and improve, and that will greatly benefit them in their futures.  Please help us to instill this in them.
