You may notice a few more numbers on behavior charts in your child's folder.  After Christmas, we're a little less lenient in regards to behavior in order to prepare your child for 1st grade.  It's not a problem unless it becomes a pattern.  If you have any questions, please contact me.  

Remember that headphones for our iPads should be sent in by Monday.  

Invite-a-Friend is next Friday (January 30) at 10:00am.  Your child's guest should meet us in the church basement.  All guests must be 18 or older and they will need to leave by 10:45 so we can get ready for lunch.
