We will be having a Christmas party on 12-17. I am asking that each student
bring a wrapped new book. Valued between $5-$10. If this is a hardship please
just let me know. If you would like to bring a snack for our class to enjoy
please send it with your student on 12-17.
Please print a copy of this newsletter for your student and have them bring
it to school on Monday.
