Thank you to the following chaperones who volunteered on our field trip last Friday:  Mr. Elhaddi, Mrs. Deckert, Mrs. Hnatiuk, Mrs. Jordan, and Mr. Ross.  The students had a great time at the museum!

Reminder that there is a Science quiz in Mrs. Grizzell’s class tomorrow (Tuesday).  There is a S.S. quiz on Wednesday.

We will be doing a shopping activity on Friday in class for math.  I am looking for donations of advertisements from different stores (Target, Walmart, Meijer, ToysRUs, ect…).  If you have any extra ads that you are no longer using, please send them to school by Thursday.  Thank you in advance!

Dr. Groover has asked that students who play on the playground before and after school, do not throw balls on the blacktop.  If students want to play with a ball on the playground, it should be done on the grass in the field away from students who are lining up.

If your child is participating in the holiday gift exchange, please make sure they bring a wrapped gift that costs no more than $5.00 to school on Friday.  If your child is a boy then write “To: Boy, From: (child’s name)” on the gift and if your child is a girl then write “To: Girl, From: (child’s name)” on the gift.  If your child does not bring in a gift, then they will not receive one to take home.  This gift exchange is completely optional.
