Do you have a working manual typewriter lying around you'd like to donate? :)
Ms. Suzannah's class is looking for a typewriter for some classroom experiences.  If you have one collecting dust in your attic, or your basement, please consider donating it to our elementary students.  Thanks!
 
Lost and Found -
We are acquiring quite a collection of hats and gloves.  Please have your child check the Lost and Found, on the purple bench, if they are missing any cold weather items.  There is also a lovely pair of women's grey gloves found in Mrs. Fisher's class following the holiday performance which has not yet been claimed.
 
Ms. Viscovic's class is looking for someone to fish sit over the holiday break.
  If you can take the fish, please send in a note with your child to Ms. Viscovic.  Thanks!

Emergency/Weather Closing  
 
Please listen to WJOL, AM 1340 for school closing information.  We are also registered with the Emergency Closing Center
(www.EmergencyClosings.com). 
 
Each parent should exercise his/her own judgment as to the advisability of driving in severe weather.  The school will be open when we feel a majority of parents can safely bring their children to school.
