December 6, 2010

  Dear Parents,

 

 First of all, I apologize that I haven't been able to keep the blog updated for the past month. I have been having some issues with Blogger not working properly from the school computer, however, the glitch seems to have been fixed. This is going to be a quick reminder newsletter filled with information on upcoming events.

• Tuesday, Dec. 7th : Winter Band/Orchestra Concert 1:45 pm And 6:30 pm in the Funhouse.
• Wednesday, Dec. 8th: Harelson Spelling Bee 9:30-10:30 in the Funhouse.
• Saturday, Dec. 11th: Barnes and Noble Bookfair and Art Show 9am-11:00pm(see attached flyers)
• Tuesday, Dec. 14th: Harelson Geography Bee 9:00-10:30am in the Funhouse.
• Thursday, Dec. 16th: Christmas Party *see below for information. Our “Room Mom” will be contacting parents for treats!

HOLIDAY FAMILY: So far we have received only a few items for the mother and father of our holiday family, with many items still needed. Gift cards to Walmart (or a store where they could by food OR clothing) are a great way to help support this large family. Dad is 33 years old: pant size (38x32), shirt size (XL), shoe size (9-1/2). Mom is 31 years old: pant size (16), shirt size (XL), shoe size (10). THANK YOU in advance for your support!  (P.S. If anyone has a girl's bike which is gently used, our family has a 6 year-old who is dreaming of a "Barbie bike - but I'm sure she'd be grateful for ANY bike).

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping shower Mrs. DiVetta with love and well wishes (along with some special gifts) for her last day. The surprise party was a huge success, and she was quite touched by all the support.

 

CHRISTMAS PARTY NEWS: Our Christmas party will be on Thursday, December 16th. I have asked the students to each bring in a stocking to hang in the room. (If you can’t send in a stocking, please let me know so I can provide one for your child). If possible, EACH CHILD SHOULD BRING IN **28** SMALL gifts. These little “gifts” from the class will be used to fill up the students’ stockings. Suggestions for the stocking “gifts” include: gel pens, pencils, erasers, candy, stickers, individually wrapped cookies or cakes, fruit roll-ups, mini activity books or mini notepads, etc.

 

 If you have any questions, please email me for the quickest response. You may also send me a note in the agenda. In an emergency, please call the office at 696-6020, as they can reach me during school hours while our class phone is forwarded. Thanks for your support.

 

 Have a great week!

 

 Mrs. Keene
