First and foremost...my parents rock! Thank you for all your assistance, support, and concerns to guide our children up the ladder of education.

First the assistance: A big thank you goes out to the following families for making fortune cookies. The Gallegos family, the Day family, the Quynn family, The Gorsgner family, the Mandujano family. The children loved reading their fortunes. If you typed them up, could I have a copy of your "fortunes" they truly were fantastic. My husband and I attempted making them last weekend...the final result...a lot of laughter, and extremely grateful to my parents who were successful...

Second, a big thank you goes out to the Mc Donald family, the Hunt family, the Gorsegner family and the McGrady family for volunteering to help with our Harvest Hop festivities. We still need your help with decorating the hallway this Tuesday, October 12th at 1:00 p.m. in our hallway. I also need help running the carnival booth on Friday, October 15th for 1/2 hour shifts. Please let me know if you are available. Thank you very much.

Next, I appreciate your support in and out of the classroom. Thank you to the Cordell's, Gast's, Goodrick's, Gorsegner, Ham's, Mandujano's, McDonald's, Newton's, Pudder's, and the Quynn's (to name a few) for working on projects for our class in the classroom or at home.

Finally, I am grateful for your concerns pertaining to your child's behavior and academic progress. I truly believe we will make gigantic leaps in our children's education this year. Thank you for being actively involved and keeping me informed of any issues or concerns that arise.

Thank you for sending in your choices for parent/teacher conferences. I have one conference request sheet without a name on it. Please, if you sent your sheet in and I have not responded to you, please let me know...I believe this request sheet is yours. :)

As always, please call if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks during parent/teacher conferences.

Oh yes, one more thing, conferences have the tendancy to go over their allotted times, I will do my best to keep everything flowing according to our sign up sheet. If we need extra time, we can set up an additional conference time. Thank you in advance. See you soon.
