Today is our Community Service Day!!!
We will be off Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We will return to school on Monday, December 1, 2008.
We will also be coming back to a new trimester- a fresh new start. We will have new electives as well.
Next week-starting Monday, December 1st will be the holiday shop. Most items will be $1.00-$5.00 with items being as low as $.25 and as high as $9.00. Forms were sent home with each student as well as a money envelope. This is a great time to let the kids to their own shopping and surprise their parents. Its always exciting to see what the kids will pick out!
One year, my son bought my husband candy and a car. He later told me that he knew Daddy would let him play with it.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! Don't eat too much and remember to be thankful for all that you have!

Community Service Day
Community Service Day is Tuesday, November 24, 2008. The seventh graders are traveling to and cleaning the Kent County Parks and Recreation grounds on White Oak Road in Dover. We will leave at 10am and return by 2pm. We will have a picnic lunch so make sure you pack your lunch or order one from the cafeteria prior to Tuesday. They will be receiving plastic gloves and trash bags. This will help the students give back to their communities and understand the importance to doing something good for someone. After we return, we will participate in a school wide gathering.
