Field Trip

Our field trip to Playhouse on the Square to see Peter Pan is Tuesday, December 5. We will be
leaving school around 8:45, so it is important that your child arrives at school on time that day. If you
plan to follow the bus, you will need to be here by 8:45. If you are planning to meet us at Playhouse on
the Square, you need to be there by 9:30.

Work Folders are not being sent home today. They will be sent home on Monday.

Happy in Memphis
Thanksgiving Feast
Thank you for supporting the Happy
in Memphis 5K on Saturday. If your
child purchased the new Happy in
Memphis 5K shirt, it may be worn to
school on Monday along with jeans.
Accelerated Reader
I am sending home a list of the AR
books that your child has tested on
so far this year. The last day for
testing will be December 14.
Spelling
Please remember that our
Thanksgiving Feast will be next
Tuesday, November 21, and that
your child will not need to bring
a lunch to school on that day.
Remember that students may
dress up as Pilgrims or Native
Americans on that day, but please
do not go to a lot of expense or
trouble in preparing a costume.
Our next spelling test will be on
Friday, December 1, over the
spelling list that is being sent
home today. Our next memory
verse test will also be that same
day over Luke 1:49.
