Welcome, November! 
 
A big THANK YOU to everyone for sending in doughnuts, pumpkins, and other items for our Harvest Day Celebration. It was a huge success and loads of fun! Check out our web log later this week for photos. 
 
I hope to see everyone on Thursday at Gilbert’s Adventure night from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. First graders will be dressed as pilgrims and Indians. We will act out the first Thanksgiving. Students will also be able to visit two other adventures. 
 
For those of you who were unable to schedule conferences, missed your time, or I had to reschedule, I will be sending home the information we were to discuss. If you have further questions after receiving this update on your child’s progress, let me know and we’ll find a time for a face-to-face conference.
