No Homework!
Dear Parents,
I have a couple of announcements. Many important notes went home in the students' Friday Folders. There is a permission slip for an upcoming field trip, a note about the science fair, a packet about registration, and much more.
This morning I received a letter from the Gillis family regarding the devastating tornadoes that affected the Southeast. They have family friends that were right in the middle of it. That family, along with many others in the community lost everything. Rick Gillis was able to borrow a 26' trailer from his employer. The Gillis family would like to fill the entire trailer with various items that will help all of the families in that area to rebuild their lives. If you have any items that you feel would be useful to these families, please send them to school with your child starting Monday. Do not feel that this is something you must do. I will be bringing a few things in myself. Some ideas for items that the families could use are: paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, bottled water, toothpaste, clothes, canned goods, toothbrushes, hand soap/sanitizer, blankets, detergent, and the list goes on and on. On Friday, May 6th (a week from today), Rick Gillis will be driving all of the goods that he has collected to the areas affected by the tornadoes. Please try to have all donations in by Thursday morning. If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail me.
Thank you so much!
