Dear Parents,
Below is a note from Cathy Bailey
We will be hosting our annual Middle School Parent Night on Wed. Dec. 14 at 6:00 p.m. at Campus School in the playroom. We have invited many Optional Schools such as White Station, Ridgeway, Colonial, and Snowden. We have committments from Christ the King Lutheran School, Collegiate School, St. Anne's on Highland, St. Mary's, St. Agnes/Dominic, Woodland, and hopefully Lausanne School. We welcome all our parents and student's in the fourth and fifth grades. I look forward to seeing you there.
Have a Wonderful Winter Break!

The Great Poetry Race is Here!
This week, the fourth grade will participate in the first “Great Poetry Race.” Your child's challenge is to read "Jabberwocky," by Lewis Carroll, to as many adults as possible throughout the week. After your child reads the poem, his or her “audience” must sign the back of the poem. The goal of "The Great Poetry Race," is to read to as many different adults as possible. Therefore, only one signature per adult, per night will be allowed, as well as only one signature per reading. For example, in order to get a signature from two people listening at the same time, the student would need to read the poem twice. Feel free to call relatives or family friends, and have your child read to them over the phone! Just be sure to sign for that person. On Friday, December 16, students will participate in an optional “Fourth Grade Poetry Slam,” and the students with the most signatures will receive special recognition for their achievement!
