WEEK OF FEBRUARY 25-29, 2008

Hello,

The scores from last week's Theme 4 Reading Assessment were terrific! We'll celebrate this success with a party lunch on Friday. The class voted for a "pot luck" and dress up day. I'm expecting to see some terrific 60's hippies, students dressed head to toe in their favorite color, and piggy costumes. We'll be eating at 11:45. Please have your food to school in the norning and join the fun. There is always alot of food and we can always use some extra hands!! Please check with your child to see what they have signed up for.
