Second Grade Friday News

Chapel offerings until October 8 will go to Food for Kids.  Please bring food items from the list to help feed hungry children in central Arkansas.

Our field trip to Heifer Village in downtown Little Rock is on Monday, Sept. 29.  We will leave school at 9:00 and return around 11:00.  Children should wear their blue CLS spirit shirts.  Our drivers will be:  Dunn, Farah, LeMaster, and Litwa.  Our CLS tag day money from August and September will be donated to Heifer. Our 2^nd and 3^rd graders have voted to buy a goat, some rabbits, a flock of ducks, and a flock of geese.  We will deliver the check to Heifer when we go on our field trip.

We are half way through our first quarter.  You may check your child’s progress in each subject on Renweb.  Let me know if you have any questions.
