Tuesday, October 22

What a great day!  Our class showed such spirit by wearing clothes backwards, inside out, mismatched.....we truly have a creative group of young people in our room.

Keeping up with Red Ribbon Week, tomorrow's theme is "Too Smart to Start," and students may wear their "thinking caps" (hats) to class tomorrow.

Keep it up 4S!

Also, as of tomorrow, students are not to bring in their rainbow looms or trading cards to school.  They have become quite a distraction.  Students are still permitted to wear their loom bracelets, but should not be wearing them as rings.  

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter and continued support!

Have a great night!
