Finally, Friday!

This has been a pretty uneventful week!  I know that with having said that, I will now have a crazy week!  I was reminded by Mrs. Ozias this week that there are less than 25 school days until Christmas Vacation!  I can't believe that!

Also, students should have brought home their Social Studies test that I spoke with you about at conferences.  I also asked them to bring home their books as well so that they could make corrections.  Corrected tests are due back to me by Tuesday.

Giving Tree Family … This Christmas Season, the O.S. Student Body will be adopting a family from the Giving Tree at Church.  Our Adopted Family consists of 2 sisters who are parenting their children together.  One sister’s husband was killed and she is now left to raise their children alone.  To help make ends meet, she has moved in with her sister who is raising her children alone as well.  Student council is asking for each child to bring in $2 to help cover the cost to purchase gifts for this family.  All monies raised from today’s jeans day will also go toward purchasing gifts for the children of this family.  Finally, all offerings collected during the month of November will be used to help purchase gifts for other families from the Giving Tree located at Church.

PTL Cookie Walk … Please consider helping with the annual Cookie Walk.  It is sponsored by the PTL with the help of  2nd and 3rd grade parents.  Volunteers are needed for set up on Thursday, December 5th after school and for sales on Friday, December 6th in the morning.  Sign-up sheets will be posted on the classroom door.

Book Orders … These were sent home today in Friday Folders.  Now is a great time to be thinking about books for Christmas presents!  You may purchase books online using classroom code “HCPJM” or by simply sending in your order.  If you would like to keep your order secret from your child, please just send me an email to let me know & I will contact you when the order comes in.

Thanksgiving Celebration … We will be having our Thanksgiving Celebration here at school with our First Grade schoolmates.  We are in need of paper bags to use as vests for each student in our class.  If you have any paper bags please send them in this week.  Students will be receiving their food assignments for our feast early this next week.  Please look for that to come home!  Also, if you are able to help us on that day, please contact me!  There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that you could help us with!

Memory Work:  Due Thursday, November 21, 2013:
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.  Psalm 51:10

The Second Article of the Apostle’s Creed: And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilot, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty.  From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

[Jesus said,] “Greater love has no one that his, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13


There will be not be any Spelling Words this week!  Woohoo!
