A LETTER FROM CAMP November 20th, 2015 Camp Director: Mrs. Cronce Assistant Camp Director: Mrs. SorrellSTUDENT`CONFERENCES

Were in need of drivers to take us to the mall for our field trip. We will be leaving school at 9:15 in order to get to the mall and gather into shopping groups. Each group will have a tag containing items for which a local family has asked. Your groups will discuss sales and coupon use in order to find the best buy. When items are decided upon, the children will do the paying. Ready to make a difference? An Informed Camper Is A Happy Camper!

Thanks to you all for helping my pilot my first ever student-led conferences. I enjoyed myself and hope you did as well. A big thanks goes out to Mrs. Sorrell for helping us create our Auras!First Grade FeastOn Tuesday, the 24th, all first graders will be putting their knowledge to work during our First Grade Feast. We will recreate the first thanksgiving; some will choose to be pilgrims and some natives. Wearing clothing that reflects this is optional, but fun. We will ALL be making either pilgrim bonnets/hats or native head bands. Set-up will be at 2:00. Can we count you in?
