Parent Teacher Conferences
We would like to invite you to join us on October 21, 2011 for Parent Teacher Conferences. Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled on an individual basis by the teacher. The conference will include a time to discuss your child's strengths and challenges as well as highlight growth that has occurred over the course of the first month of school, and make goals for the remainder of the year. Check your child's Friday folder for your scheduled time, and make the most of your conference with these tips from our blog. 

Candy Drive
Every year we hold the Candy Drive around Halloween and collect extra, unused Halloween candy for the servicemen and servicewomen in the military. We are asking all of our families to Support our Troops this Halloween season by donating any collected candy to our Campus for donation. "Operation Candy" as we fondly call this drive has become an annual tradition at Citron and is a wonderful opportunity to teach our students about giving and supporting others. A collection box will be in the lobby from Monday, October 24th through Thursday, November 3rd. The candy will be donated from our campus accompanied with letters written by our Kindergarten and Junior Kindergarten students at our assembly on November 3rd. Thank you in advance for your donation.

Last Saturday, October 8th our Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarteners attended the Fairmont Preparatory Academy football game, where they sang the National Anthem. The turn-out was great and our performance was a shining success! The children sang beautifully under the direction, Mrs. Teresa Beilman. Please visit the Fairmont Flickr site to see pictures and our YouTube site to view the adorable video. Once again a big thank you goes out to Mrs. Beilman, our music teacher, for doing a great job teaching our young children our nation's anthem. We look forward to next year's Family Football Night and hope even more Fairmont Husky Pups come to support the Fairmont Huskies!

The Citron campus is gearing up for Halloween.  The decorating committee has been hard at work decorating the campus. The teachers and students have caught the ghoulish spirit too. You can hear the classes singing ghostly songs as you walk through the halls. The Pre-Kindergarten joined together this week in Room C to lean the song, "I Saw a Little Ghost"  taught by Mrs. Attallah.  Please click here to view the video on YouTube. We hope you enjoy our "Haunted Citron Campus" and be sure to walk carefully through the pumpkin graveyard in the front lobby.
