This week is celebrate freedom week. If you or your child has been to a monument, somewhere that celebrates our country or has a family member serving in the military, please feel free to send pictures for your child to share with the class this week.

Book orders are due by Friday. Please send checks only.

Our P.E. days are Wednesday and Thursday. Please make sure your child wears tennis shoes on these days.

Every month we will work on a character word. This month’s word is RESPONSIBILITY. We are going to work on being responsible at school and at home! Our responsibility pep rally will be on Friday, September 30th. I will be watching for kids with character, especially those who are responsible, and every week, one kid will be chosen as the “Leader of the Pack.”

Please go over your child’s papers with them. This is good for them to see how they can improve their grades as well as let you see how they are developing!

Ginny is the LEADER OF THE PACK!!!
