Odds and Ends:
*Scholastic Book Order: December book order is due Monday, 12/14.
*Bowling: We will be bowling for gym class on Tues. 12/15. Thank you all for turning in permission slips-we are all accounted for! You may send $3-5 for your child to purchase a treat at the snack bar. We will be coming back for lunch, so we will allow one treat per child. You may want to send a sack lunch that day since your child may not be as hungry.
*Volunteers Needed: If you are interested in helping tie roller skates for the roller skating unit in gym class the 2 weeks following winter break, please contact Ms. Stainman via email at tstainmain@ccsd66.org. Thank you!
* Tivoli Movie: Again-100% of permission slips have been turned in! Thanks! We will enjoy a movie on the last day of school before winter break. We will be eating lunch in the classrooms on Fri. 12/18. Hot lunch will be available or you can send your child with a sack lunch.
*Thank you: Thank you to everyone for donating gifts to our adopted family! We had quite a pile of gifts to be delivered to the family. What a great feeling to know we helped to make their holidays bright!
*Please be advised that as of January 4, 2010 there will be a price increase in the student hot lunch program. The price of hot lunch will be $2.50 per meal.
