Along with the Christmas party on Thursday we will be having a book exchange. Each child can bring a wrapped book and label it boy or girl on the outside. You may send in your books earlier if you would like. Also THURSDAY is a minimum day. Students are dismissed at 12:30. Thanks again.

Schedule for the week of December 17-20:

There will be no spelling or reading out of the textbook for the week. We will be finishing up any assignments and working on studying for the English and Social Studies tests. Our English Test will be on TUESDAY on Unit 9 and the Social Studies test will be on WEDNESDAY on chapter 6.
WEDNESDAY we will be going to the Courthouse Museum. Please be sure to let me know if you are unable to drive. The drivers that I have selected based on when the persmission slips were turned in are Mary Camper, Lisa Saling, Danielle Wood, Lisa Bird adn Michelle Brinkop.
Thursday we will be having our in class party. We will be watching The Santa Clause with Tim Allen. Since the movie is PG I will need the signed permission slip to watch the movie. If the permission slip is not signed I will not be allowed to have your student participate. Thank you and only 8 Days till Christmas!!!

Dear Parents,

Mrs. Blackburn has informed the teachers of a survey that can be done through OLM lancers website at olmlancers.com. The survey is to help with capital campaign. All we need is your input and what you think. It will only take a few minutes and in return there will be a day when the students will receive free dress. The survey must be complete by December 18, 2007. In your students planner is a note that you will send back stating you completed the survey. The notes will be checked accordingly.
Thank you,

Mrs. Bliss

Thank you for returning your progress reports so promptly. If you have any questions please write me a note or contact me if need be. You may also look online at Option C if you are unsure of any grades. Please make use of the online grading. It is best if you look every week so that when reports do come home we are not surprised. Everything should be up to date. Let me know if you see anything that needs attention. Please remember the second quarter is more difficult than the first and you may notice some changes in your students grades. Thank you again for your support.
