A few things...

First of all, thank you for making my birthday such a delight! I was totally spoiled and felt very, very loved. Thank you to everyone who sent cards, food, gifts, etc. The gift I treasure the most, however, is having 30 AMAZING students. They bless my socks off every, single day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our class voted and decided on a few Saturday Live baskets they would like to contribute to. Our basket themes this year are: Tie Dye (great idea, Lauren!), Spa Day, and Lego. If you would like to contribute to one of these baskets, it would be greatly appreciated! More details will come in the next Tuesday folder.

I think that is all for now... Week two is going wonderfully! :)

Fabulous First Day!

Wow! I went home with a HUGE grin on my face last night! What a marvelous beginning to the school year. I can already tell this is a truly fun, polite group of students. I am so anxious to see what the year has in store for us! :)

Please return the papers that were in the Tuesday folders asap (I know there were a lot). Your hands were probably tired after signing and filling out so many different forms, but I truly appreciate your prompt return. Arrowhead parents are the best!

If you haven't already done so, please send $5 with your child so he or she can buy an assignment notebook. Starting next week, we will use them everyday.

Thank you again for making the first day so wonderful!

Meet and Greet
