November 4-8

Reminders
Parents do your best to get the Cookie Dough order forms in by Wednesday. This week we are also having boys basketball tryouts on Thursday and girls soccer tryouts will be next week. Parents also please do your best to make sure that your children are coming to school prepared for class everyday. We have had several students lately coming to class without the materials or instruments needed for school, this costs them points in participation as well as work points.

Thanksgiving Feast
Our annual Thanksgiving feast is happening again this year and we ask that any 6th grade parent please donate money to help buy turkeys for the event this year. For those of you who are new to our school we have a School Thanksgiving Feast the week of Thanksgiving at school where each grade level is responsible for bringing in objects, or money to provide for everyone else.
