November 17-21, 2014

A full 5 day week is upon us and we will enter back into our regular routine.
Last week we started our Christmas Cards for families to purchase. On Friday an order form was sent home for families to purchase these cards. Please return that form as soon as possible to be handed into the office.
Another green form (half sheet) was sent home on Friday allowing families to purchase a 2014-2015 Year book. This year book will be a collection of pictures from events throughout the year.
We are still looking for Parents to participate in the "Operation Christmas Child" boxes this year. Unfortunately, it is a quick turn around and boxes will need to be returned to school by Wednesday November 19.

Here's what is going on this week:
