Remember our Veterans

Please remember our veterans and the sacrifices they made for us and for our freedom.

Help Wanted

*We need a volunteer to make some copies to create some study cards for our classroom. This job will probably take a few hours at school and could be spread over several days as needed. If you have time and could help, please let us know. Thank you so much!

*We are running low on hand sanitizer. We have plenty of bottles that can be refilled if you can send some in. We are also running low on kleenex so please send some in if you can. Thanks!

*We will be creating some holiday crafts on Tues. 11/24. Not only do we need helpers that day, but we would appreciate any cute and inexpensive ideas you have or materials you could provide. Thanks for your help!

*Last but not least, we would gladly take any of your leftover Halloween candy! What your child doesn't like someone else may love. Thanks!

Thank you!

Ms. Martin and I would like to thank each and every one of you for a successful year this year. We will miss you all and hope that you have a wonderful summer! Be sure to come back and visit us. We always love to see how our "babies" have grown.

Check back on our blog this summer also because we will be posting fun links and educational websites as we find them surfing the 'Net.

Have a safe and happy summer!

Please Help

Thank you to everyone who has sent in hand sanitizer and/or kleenex! We really appreciate your help keeping germs under control.

Our Valentine's party will be this Friday at 1:00. If you can send in something sweet, salty, or crunchy (finger foods please), we would appreciate it. Just jot us a note in your child's agenda if you can send something in. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you to each and everyone who sent in items for our "stockings" and for our class party! We had such a fun time today. The food was outstanding, and the toys and other goodies in the stockings were a huge hit. Thank you also to the parents who were able to come today and help. As always, we couldn't do it without each contribution. We really appreciate it!

Merry Christmas!

Veteran's Day

Today we pause to remember all the men and women who have served our country. Thank you, veterans! We appreciate the freedoms you have helped us earn and keep.

Tomorrow we will celebrate our local veterans with an assembly beginning at 9 AM in the gym.

Here are a few of the heartfelt letters our students wrote (as they wrote them!) to show their appreciation:

Dear Veteran,
Thank you for being so generous to serve in the military for our country. I really appreciate that you would do that. I honor you dearly, for your patriotism and curage. As you know, surviving in the military is deathly dangerous and sometimes scary. Again, I thank you for your kindness, bravery, courage, patriotism, and generousity to defend our country!

Sincerely,
Kaila H.

Dear Veteran,
I am grateful that you served in the military on behalf of our country. I appreciate the sacrifices you had to make being a United States' soldier.
If you were in the Iraq war or another war, I bet you really missed your family. I hope you will always be safe and thank you for making me feel safe every night.

Sincerely,
Michael

Dear Veteran,
I would like to thank you for defending our freedom & our country. I'm sure our country would be different if we didn't have people like you. I'll pray for you every night. May Jesus bless your heart. May God bless your soul. May the Angels watch over you.

Sincerely,
Jared
