Homework Preview

There will be no homework or spelling words next week! However, please take note of the exciting things we have plans!

- We have been working hard to memorize Twas the Night Before Christmas and I think you will be quite impressed at our party!

- If you have not sent a small picture (or one that can be cut) please send that in on Monday.

- We are collecting $ to buy supply our sister school in Malawi with furniture! In the past few years we have collected money to build a school and fill it with books. I encouraged students to work at home or making sacrifices to earn money for the children in Africa.
