I hope you all had a good and relaxing Christmas holiday. Now it's full speed a ahead. ( I know, I think I say this every month!)
It's that time of year that we will be going skating. The days we will be going skating are January 3rd, 10th, 17th, and the 25th. We will be going from 9-10am every time. We will need to leave the school shortly after the bell and opening routines, so we need rides to be at the school at 8:45. We need rides for 24 students. If you are able to drive, please let Connie Weinberger (0634) know ASAP which days you are able to drive or write me a note in the agenda. We will also need help tying skates, but then you are free to leave until 10ish. to drive us back to school. If your child needs skates, we have some at school they can borrow. Come in and size up a pair for your child before tomorrow if possible. Every child also needs a hockey helmet. There are some at the school also to borrow. Please make sure your child knows if you wants them to wear their snow pants and coats on the ice. If they are allowed to take off their coats please make sure they have a sweater or a hoodie on, not short sleeves. Please call if you have any questions. (You are more than welcome to skate with us as well.)
January is our Speech arts month here at school. Your child needs to find a memorize a poem to be presented Jan. 30 for class finals. Your child has brought home a package in the front of their agenda. You are more than welcome to come and watch your child present their poem.
