November 9, 2009

I apologize for being away from the bog for so long, but I really did have good intentions of posting pictures of the fifth graders to my blog. I misplaced the memory card from my camera somewhere, so therefore no pictures. I will give you a few short notes to catch you up on some important information.



Yearbooks must be purchased separately from pictures this year. Orders may be sent in now until November 19th. Your student has been given an order form.



Field trip to Detroit Science Museum Monday, November 23. Lunches should be brown bagged with disposable drink containers. Dress code is jeans with gym T-shirt. Parents chaperoning the field trip are as follows: Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. Compton, Mr. Carauna, Mrs. Golematis, Mrs. Lozon, and Mrs. Martin.



Thank you to the parents who who came in and helped out with our Halloween party and to those who sent in ice cream or other supplies for our sundaes. The students did enjoy them.

The students wrote, directed and acted out a Halloween skit all by themselves. They are truly

a gifted group of young people. I was amazed at how well they did. I only gave help when someone asked me. I was impressed with their creativity and spirit of independence.
