Hello,

I hope everyone had a good weekend. This week should be a regular 5 day school week. No tests are planned for this week; but next week the Vocabulary Tests(orange book) will be given.
I will give you the exact dates tomorrow, Mon. 03/08/2010.
Mrs. Potrawski has asked me to ask you if you would be able to donate travel size toiletries. Shampoo and Toothpaste are the things that are really needed, but, whatever toiletries you could send would be appreciated. The items are being collected for the Shelter for Battered Women. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact Mrs. Potrawski. Thank You in advance for your efforts. Have a good week. Mrs. Schifferdecker

P.S. Please make sure the items are not expired or have been used. Thank You.
