This year, we will be joining with Smith, Salina, and Edsel Ford in a “BATTLE AGAINST HUNGER”. Our district goal is to collect 100,000 cans/boxes of nonperishable food that will be donated to the Gleaners Food Bank.

During the week of November 13-17, students are encouraged to bring in nonperishable boxed food and/or canned goods. [Sorry but we cannot accept expired items.] Food items will be collected in each 1st hour class.

If you’d like, families can also bring their donations with them to conferences on Monday or Tuesday. Collection boxes will be available in the lobby.

We know that not every family will be able to contribute but, if your family can, please give generously to support other families in our community who are not as fortunate. We appreciate every donation!

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Haddad.

AGENDA: (1) Read for SSR, (2) Filled out questionnaire in preparation for next week’s conferences, (3) Created a list of the different forms of writing, (4) Selected a topic and wrote about it, (5) Shared writing with peers and then with whole group, (6) Dismissal countdown
