Last Week of 2008

It's time to say goodbye to another year! Thank you for all your hard work this year and for it you get two weeks off, yeah!!!

A couple of events to conclude our year are as follows:
Homeless Bags- Your children will be making a homeless bag. This is a brown paper bag filled with water, snacks and a message of compassion. I encourage you to keep this bag in your car and when you see a homeless person, give them this bag. We would like to hear all the stories from this act of service. Instead of having a class party and asking for more goodies from you, we wanted to show our students that it is better to give than receive.

On Friday, we will hold our class auction. Some students have been saving their money from their ATM cards to be used at out class auction. We could still use some donations, so if you have anything laying around send it to school.

I wish you the warmest greetings this season. Thank you for giving me the priveledge to teach your child. It's funny and fun to write and say this...See you next year!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas,

Ms. Kelley

whoa cool. I saw this people that were sleeping in their car and my grandma and I went over and talked to them. They were so happy i guess because people didnt really like to talk to them because they were dirty. They gave me a toy giraffe (from madagascar) I thought that was really nice of them!
