Newsletter small medium large DECEMBER 2009 Dear Parents, December is here. It is hard to believe that we are at the end of the 2009 Calendar year. Before you know it, we will be in 2010. I have been very pleased with how the school year has begun. We just finished an important time in the school year (that being Parent/Teacher conferences.) The teachers put forth a great deal of effort for these conferences. Your active participation in these conferences should set the tone for the rest of the school year. Since winter is only a few weeks away, please make sure you are tuned in for potential school delays and/or cancellations. If you sign-up for Fishkill News at http://groups.google.com/group/FishkillNews you will be notified if any of these occurrences take place. It is also important to note that if you have ANY information that has changed (i.e. work numbers) please let us know. Centennial News: This month we held our monthly Centennial Student Assembly. The theme for November was people over the past 100 years. Listed below were some of the Fascinating Facts: 1910: The population of Fishkill was 13,858. 1920: Henry Ford sold cars for $920. 1930: The Yankees won the World Series for the 5th time 1940: Duke Ellington and the Duke Ellington Orchestra played at Carnegie Hall in 1943. 1950: Lucille Ball starred in “I Love Lucy.” She played that role from 1951-57. 1960: Martin Luther King Jr. was the youngest person to win the Noble Peace Prize in 1964. 1970: Hank Aaron breaks Babe Ruth’s Home Run Record in 1974. 1980: In 1982 Michael Jackson released his album “Thriller”. 1990: In 1998 R.K. Rowling published the first book in the Harry Potter series called, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone. 2000: In 2007 Zac Efron starred in the movie “High School Musical”. Just a reminder, if you are visiting the school, we have a Tree Map located in the main hallway that displays these Fascinating Facts. If you are in the school stop by and take a look. In December the students will be looking for fascinating facts about Toys from the past 100 years. I hope that 2010 will be a GREAT year for you and your families!
