First Grade Friday News - October 22


 
 
Chapel offerings in October will go to The Rice Depot to help feed the hungry here in central Arkansas.  Children are urged to bring a cash offering or food item from the Rice Depot “wish list”.

I will be meeting with the parents of each student on October 25 and 26.  Your assigned time is going home today. 

Don’t forget to invite grandparents (or substitute grandparents) to our Grandparents’ Day celebration on Wednesday, November 14.  Each child took home two invitations last week.  Let me know if you need more.   We want to serve lunch to all of our special guests that day, but we will only have lunches prepared for those who have registered by October 29.  Please help us to get all grandparents registered before the deadline.
