Week of Sept. 26th- 30th

I hope everyone enjoyed the Fall Festival.  I think it was a great way to end a week of ITBS testing.  Next week we will try to return to our routine.  We have two weeks left in this nine weeks.  The deadline for the A.R. requirements is Thursday, Oct.7th, at 3:00.  


We'll be making arrowheads out of soap, so start sending in small travel size bars.  If you don't have any hotel soap around the house, a bar of Ivory works well.


Thank you for sending your children to me.  I hope you have a good weekend and enjoy the time with your family.
