HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Filed under Uncategorized

I JUST WANTED TO WISH EVERYONE HAPPY HOLIDAYS! GET PLENTY OF REST, HAVE LOTS OF FUN, AND EAT TO YOUR HEART’S CONTENT! BE READY TO GET BACK TO WORK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. YOU DID NOT HAVE ANY HOMEWORK OVER THE WINTER BREAK, BUT YOU DO NEED TO REMEMBER THAT I OWE EVERYONE A HOMEWORK PASS WHEN WE RETURN ON JANUARY 8, 2007 (REMEMBER, WE AGREED IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR ME TO KEEP THEM UNTIL WE RETURNED SO THEY DIDN’T GET MISPLACED OVER THE BREAK ;-)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS & THANK YOU FOR ALL THE FABULOUS GIFTS OVER THE PAST WEEK!
MRS. VANDRISSE (OTHERWISE KNOWN AS MRS. V. OR MRS. VANDRIZZLE)

PTSA Newsletter

Filed under Uncategorized

Parents,

Your child received a PTSA newsletter this morning in homeroom, so please ask him/her for it if it is not given to you (it’s a red piece of paper)!

Also, don’t forget to bring in goodies for the holiday party on Thursday! Each homeroom on team 7B was assigned a category (sweets, salty, or paper products…..my homeroom has salty treats). If you want you can bring them to my room, and I will store them in the cabinets until Thursday.

Happy Holidays!
Tracy VanDrisse
