WECOME TO GRADE TWO!!
November 16-20, 2009
Notes from the teacher:
Dear Parents and Students,
Thanks for packing Operation Christmas Child gift boxes. We will pray that
many children will be touched by God’s love. Gift boxes will be sent to the
collection center Friday morning.
This Friday we will visit Steven’s Creek Park for our field trip to learn
about forest and foothill plants and animals. Please have your child(ren)
wear long pants, sturdy shoes, and layers. Although it is a free dress day,
students should dress appropriately for a hike in the woods. Please send a
snack as we will be eating lunch at 12:20.
Please keep us in your prayers.
God bless you,
Anne Marie Bevolden
