...And our newest Leader of the Week is...
Blake W!!!
Blake was chosen as our Leader of the Week this week due to his proactive attitude and his hard work in class! Blake definitely does a good job of putting first things first to ensure that he completes and turns in his best work. He also seeks first to understand any lesson or assignment before he begins his work. Way to go, Blake!

Parent- Teacher Conferences
I've had so many of you sign up for conferences and I'm looking forward to meeting with you during your scheduled time this Tuesday or Wednesday! Please be sure to be on time (or even a couple minutes early) for your scheduled conference. I want to be sure to meet with each of you for the alotted time so we can discuss your child's progress thoroughly. If you did not sign up for a conference, but would still like to discuss your child's progress, please write me a note about the best times to reach you by phone, preferably before 5:00pm.
Pennies for Patients
We had an exciting kick off to our Pennies for Patients fundraiser this afternoon! Kids may begin collecting money for Pennies for Patients now. Please be sure that any money sent in is counted, and bagged with the total indicated on a note inside the bag. This will make totaling the donations much smoother. Thanks!

Monday: Wear red.
Tuesday: Wear jeans and a college, military, or university sweatshirt.
Wednesday: Dress for success.
