Happy Halloween News . . .

This message is from our Two Terrific Room Mothers:
Hi! It's Halloween again and we are planning some fun activities for our upcoming party. Next week we are goign to have a pumpkin decorating contest. Each student will get a pumpkin to decorate anyway they would like. During the party on the 31st {at 2:00 and yes, the kids may wear their costumes after the last recess so they don't get ruined!!}, the pumpkins will be judged. The winner will recieve a prize after judging is completed!! To offset the cost, please send $1.00 to school with your child by Friday, Oct. 19th. If you have any questions please call Becki at 739-7776, or Tracey at 642-1089.

Thanks,

Poem Update . . .

Some of your children might be bugging you about checking the page to read their poems, but I had a little glitch this weekend: my oldest daughter got the flu bug!! I spent much of the weekend taking care of her and trying to keep my youngest daughter from getting sick!! I know you parents will all understand. I will try to get to the poems on-line tomorrow!! Hope your weekend was WAY better than mine!!
