Dear Parents,
Please read the note about working at the Fall Festival.  Your child has it today.  If you can help for 30 minutes please sign it and send it back.

Your child has a sheet about the soft ball team selling Pepsi products to raise money for things the team needs.  Please help.  The girls have to raise their own money for items for the team.

We will have our regular test this week.

I am very concerned about the multiplication tables and subtraction.  We are really working on these two things.  Please check your child's homework.

I hope you will remind your child to read their AR books.  Two people did not make their goal last time.  They can make it up by doing double or nothing.

Thank you,
