E-mail or Snail Mail

THANKS!!! Almost everyone has returned their sheet and self-addressed stamped envelope. Your child will write you a letter this week and will be sending you an e-mail next Monday, February 18th. We will be comparing and contrasting email and US postal mail as two forms of communication to see which one gets to you faster. If possible, please check your email between 9:30 and 10:45 and reply as soon as you receive your child's email. If you cannot respond immediately, please respond at your earliest opportunity. Your child’s U.S. mail letter will also be mailed on Monday. Please tell your child the date in which the U.S. mail letter is received at your home. I am sure your child would enjoy watching you open their letter to you. This is a fun activity that really allows the students to understand how technology has changed.

Share the Love

During Students in Action’s “Share the Love” campaign, we are collecting new socks of all kinds (men’s, women’s, kids, babies, etc.) to donate to the Star of Hope. If we can collect at least 300 pairs of socks by Valentine’s Day, Mrs. Graves has agreed to let the whole school have a “Sock Day” the Friday before Spring Break. Bring your socks and help share the love!
