Hello Everyone,
Well here it is, the last full week before the holiday vacation. This time of year brings a lot of
activities, wonder and joy during the season. As I walked around the classrooms today, I saw a lot of
tired kids! Make sure that you get them to bed early this week. My daughters were doing a lot of
whining and crying about issues that normally don't get them upset. My wife and I think that the
"spirit" of the season is getting too much for them. We are going to scale back some of the Nog and
holiday movies during the school week to let them get back on track somewhat.
This week we have the band and chorus concerts for our 4th and 5th graders. They sound
wonderful. With this kind of talent, we will become a real regular at the Rose Bowl! They have
worked so hard. Showtimes are at 1:15PM on Wednesday and 9:30 on Friday.
Report cards are going home on Friday. Share the results with your child and show them that you are
concerned with their grades. Showing your child that you value their academics is a very important
lesson for the children to see. Make sure you sign it and send it back as soon as you can. If you
have any questions, please contact your child's teacher.
Make sure you check out the Great Oak School's video about arrival and dismissal! Go to
www.Danverstv.org and click on "video on demand" Then click on "School programming" and then
you will find our video. The students and Danvers cable did an awesome job. Make sure that you
have any grandparents check it out before they come to pick up your children.
This will be my last entry before the holidays, so I would like to wish all the families of Great Oak a
wonderful holiday. You have wonderful children and you should be so proud of them. I know that I
am.
Have a great rest of the week and Happy Holidays!!.
