Weekly Update November 11, 2012

Thank-you to Major Wappler, Emilie's Dad for visiting our class on Nov. 8 and presenting at our Remembrance Day Service.  Also thank-you to the students who participated in the service.

Student Led Conferences are on Nov. 20 and 21.  Sign up sheets are on the bulletin board across from the office.  If you are unable to attend on those dates and times, please contact me and I will arrange a separate time for your child to share their accomplishments with you.

CLWR (Canadian Lutheran World Relief) November collection items: sets of 10 un-sharpened pencils, a sharpener and an eraser. The collection bucket is outside of Ms. Meilleur's door.


Please also remember Rehimet, our Compassion Canada sponsor child. We would like to collect $1.00/month from the students. If it is easier to bring it as one lump sum, please do so.
