JANUARY 10-JANUARY 14

Your children seem to be back in the swing of school. Report cards went home on Friday. They are to be signed and returned by Friday, January 14. On Tuesday, January 11, the first grade will have a free dress for having the most box tops turned in. A note also went home in the planner on Friday. There will be no school on Monday, January 17, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.

International Night will be held on Wednesday, February 16, at 6:00 p.m. The first grade will be learning about the
country of East Timor. Next week your child will be assigned a topic for the country. They will have about 2 weeks to do their report. A note will go home as to what is expected. Their report will be part of their Social Studies grade.

You all should have seen the 4th level reader which your child brought home on Thursday evening. Hopefully your child did not go ahead and look or read any of the forthcoming stories.

I would like items for the D Street Shelter by January 28th. Thank you for all of you that have been so generous with blankets, hats, gloves and personal items. It has been greatly appreciated. A reminder: this is the first grade's service project for the year.
