The Holiday Stretch

I trust that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did not get a whole lot accomplished, but it was a nice break. I was able to spend time with my parents and Kaleb (and his parents, too). Here is one of his latest pictures. We all had a nice time. We did get a little snow on Thanksgiving!Now that we are back, we have four weeks to get much accomplished. There are some fun activities coming up like D.E.A.R. pajama day and our party, but to get to that point we have much to do. So, let's buckle down for the long haul. Just a reminder--with the cold weather settling in, remember SSA regulations. Remember sweaters cannot have hoods and must be a solid, school-approved color.

We have six days remaining in the Penny Harvest. Team 4 has done awesome and I am very proud of the four classes! If you were to walk through the school, you might notice that our team has a "secret" wave to show our unity! The Penny Harvest ends December 3.

Students who did not get a job in the first round may reapply this week. There are several opening still available.

As of our last day before Thanksgiving, we had no copy machine again. I would imagine very little has been done over the break to rectify that problem. I will send home papers and updates as soon as I have access to the copy machine.

Finally, students did very well on their presentations. My biggest criticism was not being able to hear some of them present. How can this group be so quiet?! We are going to go over the presentations again in class tomorrow and the grades will come home as soon as I have a copier.

Have a great week and happy shopping!
