Report cards: Please note the report was sent home today, November 19. There are two copies—one is to be signed and sent back while the other copy is for your records. Report cards are to be signed and returned by November 24th in order for your child to receive his/her treat from Mr. Sprengel.
Pizza Hut Challenge is due on November 30th. December Challenge will be sent home on November 30th.
Our Christmas party this year will be on December 21st. I am looking into a program called Operation Christmas Child. We would collect money to fill shoebox(es) for children who have been plagued by disaster or war. Or we could donate food items to the Human Services office in Seymour. Mrs. Kim Schneider’s mother, Linda Lawyer, is in charge of that. They are always in need of non-perishable food. What are your feelings about this? We would do this in place of a gift exchange. The students would still receive a gift from me and we would have treat bags.
Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thank you.
May God continue to bless you and your family with His love and peace.
