Hello! I hope everyone enjoyed their break! Just a few short messages for our sort week this week.

Mask Update – It seems as if everyone got the memo! Masks are now optional in the classroom. They are still mandatory on the bus. . Please make sure your son/daughter has their facemask for the bus rides to and from school, as well as to and from work or CBI groups.

Utensils for Lunch and Snacks – More and more students are bringing foods that require a fork or spoon to school, but they are not bringing the actual fork or spoon. We are happy to supply the occasional utensil when we have them, but we do not have a cafeteria here to supply these items. Usually they are only available if one of the teachers has an extra on hand.

Supplies – Almost every student is low on colored pencils and glue sticks.

Goodwill Workers – will be going to Bellacino’s again this Friday. To save on cost, we will be ordering large cheese pizza and splitting it instead of placing individual orders. Students should bring in $5 to cover their pizza and a drink. (Why do we do this? When the Goodwill store has a 50% off sale, they don’t have as much work for us to do and they don’t want us working on the floor at that time. It’s a perfect opportunity to make use of our time in the community.) (Shaima, Khadija, Fatimah, Hiba, Deraa)
