Science Fair this week!

As you all know by now, my health has been an issue of late. Even last week I had a few more complications and other concerns. I hope it is all behind me now. Friday was my first entire day of work and although it was exhausting, it felt good to be back. I think your kids enjoyed it too! If I haven't responded to a note, phone call, or e-mail that you sent me while I was gone, please let me know. I tried to catch up on everything last week and want you all to know that if you need anything I will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.

Reminders/Upcoming Events:

- A reminder that the Science Fair will be held on Thursday evening. All 4th Graders are REQUIRED to turn in a science project by Wednesday, January 25th.

- We are completely out of snack. Any donations are appreciated!!!!!!

- Kiss-o-Grams are quickly approaching. We are still in need of volunteers AND donations of Hershey kisses (without nuts) and small sandwich bags. Please send those donations in as soon as possible! If you are available to volunteer February 7-13 from 10:45-12:45, please let me know soon.

- We now go the library every other week. If your child would still like to go each week to check out a new book, he/she will be allowed to go either during Explorer Time or recess. This will also make it more difficult for children to remember which days they are going, so please check the blog each week for a reminder.
