KEENE KIDS' NEWS - December 13, 2010

Dear Parents,

Happy Holidays!Please check your email for today's official newsletter, filled with last minute information on the Holiday Family (donations due by tomorrow), and our upcoming Holiday/Christmas Party on Thursday, December 16th. Thanks to Gayle Piotrowski, Dyani Blanchard, and Tammi Martin who have offered to come wrap the gifts for our holiday family tomorrow after school. I am so blessed to have such fantastic and helpful parents/grandparents.  To save space on the blog, I'm just posting the items I didn't have in the newsletter:

WELCOME TO AIDAN, OUR NEWEST “KEENE KID!” He joined our class today, and everyone made him feel so welcome! I was proud of how helpful they were. The students and I are so excited to have a new member of our “Keene Kid” family.

HELP WANTED: Please let me know if you are still willing/able to help with grading or other class activities once the 2nd semester starts in January. I know several parents offered on parent night, and I asked for a “raincheck” since I had a student teacher. Now that Mrs. DiVetta is gone, I would be THRILLED (and VERY grateful) to have extra help. If you email me with the best days/times and also what type of help you’d like to provide, I will work on making up a possible schedule (or even just offer some open times where it works best to have drop-in help). Thank you in advance!!!

HARELSON IS SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT! A FEW UPDATES:

BARNES AND NOBLE BOOKFAIR STILL GOING ON THROUGH DECEMBER 15th!

Thanks to all those parents who supported the bookfair on Saturday! Remember, if you were unable to attend the event, its not too late to order from Barnes & Noble. For the first time, Barnes & Noble Booksellers has expanded this holiday event to include online orders made between Saturday, December 11th through Wednesday, December 15. Go to BN.COM/bookfairs and use Bookfair ID 10245603 at checkout. Feel free to forward this information to friends and family across the country who may want to order books, CDs, movies or games for the Holiday Season.

DEADLINE FOR TAX CREDIT DONATIONS IS FAST APPROACHING!

Please get your forms into Jill Neubert as soon as possible if you are still interested in taking advantage of this opportunity to help Harelson.

I hope everyone has a wonderful winter break, and a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

See you next year, (Wow! Doesn’t that sound weird?)

Bonnie
