November 16 - 20

Veterans Day

We celebrated our veterans several ways this week!  Our class was assigned a veteran, Matthew Parris, who is a former Marine, stationed in Japan and Hawaii.  We wrote letters of appreciation to Mr. Parris.  He is now a Darien Tri-State firefighter!  The students got to see pictures of him both in action and with his family and learn a little about him.

I'm so thankful for our veterans ~ such courageous men and women who love our country and are willing to fight for us!  Thank you to Matthew Parris and so many others this Veterans Day Week!

Parent Teacher Conferences - I sincerely apologize for having to cancel some of our conferences this week.  I value our conference time, and without a voice, that would be difficult.  So, on Monday, I will send out another Sign Up Genius invitation for those of you who I did not meet with.  I'm planning to have times afterschool on both Tuesday and Wednesday.  If these days are not convenient for you, please contact me and we will schedule something else.
