Notes from Mrs. Shelton:
•I need each child to bring in a cream, tan or white pillow case. We need to
get started on our project for the fashion show. It doesn’t have to be new;
it can be an older one that you don’t mind us cutting and painting. It just
needs to be plain with no print or pictures on it.
•Don’t forget our Native American Fashion Show on Nov. 24 at 12:00. It will
last about 20-30 minutes. We have to start PROMPTLY at 12:00, so please be
on time or even a few minutes early & wait in the lobby.
•We will have a field trip to Chattanooga for Channel 3’s Share Your
Christmas & the IMAX Polar Express, on Dec. 11. This is an expensive trip,
so I wanted to give you enough time to plan and save. It will cost $13-14
per child. Be looking for a permission slip in a few weeks.
Thought for the week:
Sometimes the joy is the source of our smile, but sometimes your smile can be
the source of your joy. -Edgar A. Guest
