November 9-13, 2009
Notes from the teacher:
Dear Parents and Students,
This week we have several important events. First, we begin our collection of
gift boxes for Operation Christmas Child in classrooms. Please see the
brochure for specific information. Next, this Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the FBCLA
Family Center a physician will discuss information about pandemic flu
preparations. Finally, this week we will celebrate our study of the U.S.A.
with special activities on Thursday afternoon.
Last week we enjoyed the “Apollo” play, celebrating our own Passover Seder,
and our visit from Environmental Volunteers.
Please keep us in your prayers.
God bless you,
Anne Marie Bevolden
