Dear Parents,
I you are having a wonderful holiday season and will be able to bring in 2010 with delightful family and friends. It is hard to believe we have completed almost half the year! I want to share our good news about our third and fourth grade WordMaster analogy winners. Connor M. received a perfect score in the 4th grade and we had several students only miss one of the very hard analogies. Congratulations to Nick M., Paul V., Lindsay L. in 4th grade and Riley L., Sydney H. and Minnah S. in third grade for their hard work.
The top scoring students who made our team scores:
4th Grade: Kyle F., Austin F., Rory F., Rhea G., Ryan H., Steven J., Lindsay L., Nick M., Connor M., Ryan T. and Paul V.
3rd Grade: Meghan B., Madeline B., Camille C., Sydney H., Zack H., Riley L., Sam L., Alanna M., Conor N., Chaney R. EmmaJean R., Minnah S., and Tyler S.

Please read the notice below about an exciting opportunity to learn more about the social and emotional needs of your child. What a wonderful gift this would be for your family. The book, The Parent's Guide to Gifted Children is a great resource. I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity.  I will also post their flyer on this web.
Wishing all the best!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Leddy
