A note from our Co-Presidents
Welcome back! We hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving Break and stayed warm!
A huge thanks go out to Lynn Gutkin and Rachel Flynn for running a great book fair the past 2 weeks! The weather did not cooperate with our sale schedule and we are so thankful that they were able to add an extra day to the sale last week. Thanks also to all the volunteers who came in to help. The kids always get so excited to shop for and pick out their own books!
This week is the first of our two scheduled Parent Teacher conference days so a reminder that Wednesday is a half day! The second scheduled conference day is next Monday which will also be a half day.
Our Fall fundraiser items will be delivered to the school by the end of the week and we hope to get all items home to you by the weekend.
Finally, this week we have a night scheduled HSA meeting. Please join us this
TUESDAY, November 27
at 6:30pm in the Media Center to hear more about district news and school happenings! Hope to see you there!
Kathleen Kalaher Humbert and Kristin Deleppo
