Report Card Envelopes Coming Home Today

I just wanted to let everyone know that report card envelopes are coming home tonight.  Please look these over and talk with your child about their successes and things that need improvement.  Have them set an academic goal for the 2nd trimester.  Write it down and post it on your refrigerator.  Talk about it often. 

You will also find a note about our upcoming Holiday activities.  We are planning a pizza party on Friday, December 17.  We are asking each student to bring in $3 to cover pizza, pop, plates, napkins, cups, etc.  We will be watching a holiday movie in the afternoon on Friday, too.

Good Things

Since I am not at school for a few days, let's hear your good things on the blog.  Post it here.  Remember, it needs to be positive things going on in your life.  Here is mine.

My brother-in-law finished his first Iron Man Triathlon in Cozumel, Mexico this weekend.  He finished the race in just over 12 hours.  He swam 2.3 miles, biked 100 miles, and ran 26 miles.  Now that is a race.  I would have died after the first 20 minutes in the ocean.

Let's hear your good things.

Looking forward to seeing you on Friday.
