Hello all!
Well, winter has descended upon Forest Park. Please make sure your favorite second grader is adequately bundled! We do have at least one recess per day and many times, students come to me and tell me that they are cold! Coats or jackets are a necessity!
Along with the cold weather, you may be starting to think about school closures due to weather conditions. Please remember to check the local news stations or our Forest Park website for current school hours and/or closures. If they say we're open, we're really here waiting for you!
Report cards are going home on Friday, December 11, so be sure to check those backpacks and homework folders!
The Food Drive is going along nicely. We are collecting for families in the Portland area who need extra help this time of year. We are looking for non-perishable food items and hygiene products! Thank you so much for your generous donations!
For Homemade Hat Day on December 11th, students are encouraged to wear an original hat creation and donate $1.00 to "Heavenly Hats Foundation," a great organization that provides hats to cancer patients. The donations from the kids will help with the shipping costs.
Thanks again for all of your time and effort during conferences! It was great to get to meet with you all!
Looking ahead:
December 11: Homemade Hat Day
December 16: Late Opening for Professional Development--school begins at 9:55
December 19-January 3 : Winter Break NO SCHOOL!
January 4: Back to School!
