November 28, 2016

Dear Parents,

I am back!  :)  I am glad to get back on my feet and into a routine.  It has been a very rough 6 months (2 major surgeries in 6 months) but thankfully your kiddos have made the months so much easier for me.  I can't say enough about their support and kindness the past few months.

This week we hit the crazy 3 weeks before Christmas vacation.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but we still have 3 weeks of class time.  There are notes to be taken, chapters to be read and projects to complete.  Please help me keep the kids' heads in the game.  It will be difficult, but each are completely capable!

We have our first Advent prayer service at 8:30 tomorrow morning in the church.  It is a very short service to help the kids prepared for the upcoming Christmas celebration!  Please feel free to join us if you are interested!

I hope you have a great week!  Thank you for all the kind words, thoughts and prayers you have blessed me with the past few weeks!  I have felt everyone of them!

Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents

I hope you all were able to get out and enjoy some of this very unusual fall weather!  AMAZING!

Coming up....

Please help with the food drive.  I challenged the 7th graders to bring in supplies for the bags we are creating for the homeless.  In addition to the food drive this year, the school families will be making bags to hand out to the homeless in our community.  There will be toiletries in the bag, in addition to wash rags and mittens, etc....  Please send in these items asap!  Thank you so much!

Tuesday the 7th graders will be given their next science project.  We have been learning about genetics and why/how we look the way we do.  The kids will be doing this project independently.  It will be due the Monday we return from Thanksgiving break.  They will have PLENTY of time to complete the project in class, if time is used well.

REBOOT is on Wednesday night.  I have heard great things about the speaker and hope that you are able to come to this event!

Friday is our magazine sale prize fest in the afternoon.  The kids love this event!  Who knows our pig might even win the race this year!

I am having my shoulder re-done on Wednesday.  It has been a very long and trying time since June 21st when I had the original surgery.  I am sooooooo thankful and grateful for the support from the kids and parents.  Mrs. Turk is my sub, but I am available via email if you should have any questions or concerns while I am gone.  I hope to be back the Monday after Thanksgiving.  Know how thankful I am for each of you!!!

Many blessings,
Kim
