Newsletter - October 25, 2010

Dear Parents and Students:

Parent-Teacher Conferences continue this week.  The meetings thus far have been a blessing.  I look forward to more meetings this week so that we can plan for continued success for your child throughout the year.

There is no school on Friday as it has been set aside for Parent-Teacher Conferences.

Please remember to bring your baked goods!

We are looking for room representatives for the Spring Event (auction).  If you are interested, you would need to meet with the planning committee on Wednesday, November 3 at 2:00 P.M. in the cafeteria.  You would be in charge of helping our class prepare projects for the event.

Please support our troops through raising funds for Bible Sticks.  The goal is to collect $300 to sponsor 12 soldiers.  This is a great opportunity to spread the Word and provide inspiration as the soldiers protect our freedom.  For more information please visit: http://www.faithcomesbyhearing.com/military/military-outreach
