Last week before Christmas Break!!!!

DEAR STUDENTS AND PARENTS,

Wow, I am so impressed by my students' generosity with our pen pal gifts!  They really understand the true meaning of the season!  Our pen pals are going to be so happy with the gifts!  Their teacher got tears in her eyes when she saw how generous you were!  So did I!

This week will be busy ---- but we CAN do it.  The blog will be tentative, so if you are absent, please call a friend to check on the work you miss.  There will not be any tests because we did them last week, yeah. However, we will be finishing up with the math chapter, and the chapter review will count as a test.  My suggestion will be to CHECK YOUR WORK! 

Thanks to the parents for all your support with driving to the various events we have had lately.  I know that it was busy, but I truly appreciate you tremendously!  I couldn't do my job without you!

Upcoming:
Christmas program rehearsal for the school will be this Tuesday morning at 8:30 in the auditorium- come join us.  It is always fun to watch.  Don't forget that on Wednesday, 12-15 the band will perform before the Christmas program at St. Patrick's Church, followed by the Christmas program.  There is nothing like joining the school family in this most precious event!  Extra credit will be given for all those who attend this event.  Who wouldn't want to see a real baby be Jesus- its always exciting, right!
