Today your student should be bringing home a white 9" x 12" envelope which contains all of the signed & returned papers that were turned in so far this year.  If you and your child were very faithful with this, your child probably has two envelopes.  I don't usually save them up like this; in previous years they would get stamped with a "thank you" stamper and returned.  It is my hope to return to that process after Christmas break.  FYI:  "G4U!" stands for "Good for you!"

TOMORROW AFTERNOON IS OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY.  We will begin about 1:30.  If your child has not yet brought their "secret angel" gift, they should do so tomorrow.  If there is a problem with getting the gift, PLEASE let me know.  Thank you to Lydia, who has already brought in two jugs of juice and cups!

TOMORROW AT 2:00 IS OUR CHRISTMAS CHAPEL.  Please consider joining us if you are able.

The Prayer worksheet for Religion was due today.  Since this assignment had been on the board for a week, I was not too sympathetic with the ones who forgot.  They have been told that if it's not finished, they will need to bring a note from a parent (or an email) explaining why it's not finished.

THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO RETURNED THE MIDTERM SLIPS SO PROMPTLY!  (We're only missing 3.)
