-A trip to Huber Woods is planned for November 7th. The purpose of this field trip is to build a Lenape Longhouse, which connects to our Social Studies curriculum.

-Progress Reports will be going home on Friday, October 12, 2007. There was a misprint on the school calendar indicating the 5th.

-Please make sure each night that your child has completed each homework assignment and has all materials packed for the next school day. We have been having too many instances of students not completing assignments or coming to school without all supplies. You can help by checking your child's planner each day and initialing in the orange parent signature box at the bottom of each column. This will indicate to me that you've checked your child's homework and it has all been packed for school. At the end of each school day, we have "Pack Up Buddies" who help check our schoolbags to see if we have the necessary items packed for the day. I also write on the board exactly what materials need to be packed up to go home. Together we can make a difference!! Thank you for your continued support!!

-Book Order money for October orders is due Friday, October 12, 2007. Please make sure all checks are made out to Scholastic Book Clubs.
