We are so THANKFUL

This Thursday is Thanksgiving, the day set aside for us to be reminded of what we are thankful for.

I am thankful for many things this year.  I am thankful for my husband and my son and my new little child that will be here in March.   I am thankful for my home that I live in and the life I have there with my little family. I am thankful that I had such caring and supportive parents who were there for me as I was growing up....and still are to this day.  I am also thankful for my job as a teacher, and for you, my 22 students. You make coming to work a fun thing to do each day.

What are you thankful for this year?

Woodwind Group Assembly

This past Monday, we had the Woodwind Quintet of the Winston-Salem Symphony come to our school for a special presentation.  We heard them play several songs and each performer told us about the instrument that he or she plays.

What was your favorite part of the assembly and why?

Parent Letter for 11/15/11

Dear Parents,


Here are some things you need to know for the coming weeks.

1. Your child brought home the “Treasure Card” fundraiser information last week. Each card packet sells for $20. Please help our school raise some needed money by participating in this. If you do not wish to sell, please return all 5 card packs back as soon as possible. The next turn in day for money is this Thursday.

2. Join us for Science Night on Thursday evening from 6:30 until 7:30 pm. Science boards for the upcoming Science fair will be sold at a reduced price of $2 per board. After this evening, they will be sold for $3. Both prices are significantly cheaper than what you will find in the stores!

3. There is no school next week, Wednesday through Friday for the Thanksgiving Holiday!

4. We had a vision screening today. I will send the results home as soon as I get them. Several students who already have glasses are not wearing them in class. If your child already has glasses, please speak to them of the importance of wearing their glasses!!

Thank you for supporting your child’s education.

Mrs. Staton
