Newsletter - November 15-19

I hope everyone has had a great week.  I think the kids really enjoyed the field trip to Rock Ranch.  I've heard lots about it and am so sorry that I had to miss it.  Our next field trip is Tuesday, December 7, 2010 to the Center for Puppetry Arts.

Reminders:
**Georgia project due Monday. This maybe on paper in a flyer or brochure style or on a poster board, either way is fine with me.

**Don't forget to send in your Thanksgiving Feast reservation forms by Wednesday, November 17, 2010. Remember if your child is going to eat this lunch you need to order them a plate as well. Children's plates are $5.00 and adult plates are $7.00 each.
**Our Christmas program is Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 6:00 PM.
