Please Help! We have received two items for the Family Shelter Service to date and one gift card. We have not collected anything for our adopted family. Rachel, a 17 year old girl, is suffering from cancer. She lives with her Grandmother and 11 year old sister, Emma. Can you help to make their Christmas a little brighter?
New toys, games, books, puzzles, frames, jewelry, lotions, stationary, age appropriate items, popcorn tins or holiday treats/candies are some examples you can send in. Thanks!
Please plan ahead. There will be a number of tests throughout the week prior to break. Please begin to study now.
Science – Students will become familiar with how the behaviors of animals help them meet their needs. In addition, they will also look at how living things of the past compare with those of today. The chapter 3 science test is scheduled for Thursday, December 18th. Please help your child review for the test.
