The students should have brought home a pink letter explaining the “My Hands are Helping” project. Each student is encouraged to help someone else, either at home or at school, without being asked and with no expectation of being rewarded or paid back for their kind deed. Please fill in the small form explaining what the student did and then send it back to school. They will be posted on the bulletin board in the front hall.
During the week of March 22 – 25, our whole school will be studying the country of Ethiopia. This is the country where our sponsor child, Rehimet, lives. The students will be participating in various activities to learn all about Ethiopia (art, music, food, culture, geography, games, etc...) If you have any books, music, art, artifacts, pictures, or special connections with this country, and are willing to share them, please let us know.
Enjoy your week!
