Good morning! Mrs. Potrawski the hot lunch co-ordinator asked if anyone has candy from Halloween that they would like to give to troops overseas. She is doing this with her son's boy scout troop for Christmas. The only thing she asks is that it not be wraped in Hallowwen paper.

1. Your child's # 2 practice book (reading) is in her/his backpack. We are done with it. This is good for review.
2. During Math this afternoon your child will get a set of colored popsickle sticks for their desk. Another way to add and substract that will be kind of fun!

I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. I am so sad as we buried my sister's husband (54) this past Sat. He was only in the hospital for 2 wks. in ICU. Please say a prayer for my niece a junior at St. Ambrose and my sister. Thanks!
