Third Grade Announcements for the Week of December 14- 1. The third graders need to continue working on the Apostles Creed. 2. Last week the third graders received a dictionary from the Burns Grange. They help to sponsor The Free Dictionary Program throughout Shiawassee County. This program is for all third graders in our county. We are very thankful to have these and will make good use of our dictionaries through the year. 3. The students have been working very hard on the Christmas program. We think you will really enjoy it. Hope to see you Tuesday at one of the performances. Showtimes are 9:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. 4. The third grade Christmas party will be on Friday at 2:00. Thank you, in advance, Mrs. Ardelean and Mrs. Reale for taking charge of this. 5. The third graders are already really taking off with learning the multiplication facts. Review with them over Christmas break would be very helpful. 6. The coat drive is still going until December 15. 7. I hope you have a blessed Christmas and holiday break. ***3rd grade Classroom Parties Our next party will be for Christmas. This will be on Friday, December 18. Mrs. Reale and Mrs. Ardelean will be in charge. Please call them if you would like to help in any way. Each family may be called to help with goodies and treats for at least one party.

Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Trecha! **Please keep in mind that parents planning and/or attending parties need to be Virtus trained. You may take the training on line. Parents also need to be trained to do any volunteering, driving or chaperoning for any of the classrooms. It would be wise for all parents to get trained in Virtus.
