The Week Before Thanksgiving!

Wow!  One more week and Thanksgiving will be here.  This week is a fun and exciting week with a lot going on.  The book fair will be here all week, SEP’s are on Thursday (If you would like to come meet about your child’s progress please let me know as soon as possible, I have 3 spots left.) and the Holiday Basket Voting is going on until Thursday.  Another exciting thing is that our first blog post on the school blog should go up today.  Make sure you check it out.  Every student helped write one of the paragraphs about the baskets.   

A huge thank you goes out to all families that donated to our Holiday Baskets.  We have 5 Sports Themed baskets.  Please come in and vote for your favorite.  The Jazz basket has 4 tickets to a Jazz game, the Weber State Basket has a HUGE number of t-shirts and dry-fit shirts.  The U of U basket has a ton of fan items, USU has t-shirts and cowbells, and last but not least the BYU basket has t-shirts and game snacks.  Remember the grade with the most votes receives a prize for having the “People’s Choice” basket.

We are in need of more Cool Whip Lids.  We currently have 6 lids and need 19 more.  As you do your Thanksgiving making and baking please save your Cool Whip lids and send them to school with your student.  If you don’t buy Cool Whip, please check with family members and see if they might have one to donate.
