November 25, 2009 Thanksgiving Vacation November 26 & 27

Due to the Thanksgiving Vacation, we are only sending the papers and not the Wednesday Day Envelope. Happy Thanksgiving!

At this time, I would like to say thank you for sharing your children with us. They are wonderful children. I also want to thank the excellent staff at JFK for taking such good care of them academically and emotionally.

How to Cook a Thanksgiving Turkey (Recipe from a Kindergarten Student) *Go to the shop and buy it. Cook it in the kitchen for 100hours. The oven should be hot so it burns your finger. Chop it to pieces. Eat it.

Gardening Day The Green Team would like to thank all the parents, students, teachers and staff who attended Garden Day. It was a great day of hard work and fun. The children love the gardens and it was great to see everyone working together toward a more beautiful and productive school. Parent Volunteers The staff and students here at JFK would like to thank all of our wonderful parent volunteers. Your help in the classrooms and elsewhere is truly appreciated by all. Volunteering in your child’s school is a great way to share in the educational life of your child.

Parent Conferences Thank you to all the parents and guardians that met with the teachers last week. It is so valuable to be able to sit and talk about successes and concerns. So many parents came – very appreciated! I would also like to thank the teachers for the work they did to prepare for conferences and the work they have done with the children. Lastly, thanks to the office staff who had sooooo many phone calls about conference times and minimum days. Things went pretty smoothly due to everyone’s patience and hard work!

QSP Fundraiser Fundraiser items were sent home last Friday. If you ordered things on time and have not received them, please call our office. If there is a problem with your order, please call the 800 number on the paper in your bag. Thanks again for your efforts in raising funds for the school.
