Dear Parents, Fri., Nov. 14, 2008

We had a very "celebratory week" this week as three of our students had birthdays! November is our busiest birthday month of the school year. We also had one of our busiest "getting ready for recess" weeks with the cold temperatures requiring extra outdoor gear. I heard rumors of more snow forecast for next week. Be sure your little one is bundled up good for the winter blast!

Remember to call the office to schedule a conference time the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I will be available from 1 pm until 9 pm.

Here is a "Public Service Announcement" from the office: In the school newsletter that went home last Friday, there was an invitation for your child(ren) to attend Little Mountaineer Fun Night. Dad and Mom sign up their child to attend. Then, on December 6 you drop your child off at school and he can play games and visit with friends. There will be games in the gym and classrooms and hallways. Your child can play with his friends or go to the concession stand and get pizza, pop, and candy. Dad and Mom can go away by themselves for a few hours. The cost is $5 per person plus money for snacks. Invite your friends from your church, or neighborhood to enjoy a night out while their children have a great time with other children and enjoy supervised play. They will need their own sign up form so they can come too. Mrs. Wiersma (or I) can get extra sign up forms if you need them.
