Dear Parents- Thanks for being very generous during this economically hard season! Our cancer family will be truly happy this season! I didn't have a chance to get a photo of ALL the gifts, this morning, before they were taken, but I did get one of this GREAT gift basket that was made for our family.
A tree, lights, ornaments and "our gifts" will be delivered to the homes by district teachers and their families!
The Family Shelter also received a good amount of donations! Thanks!
Thanks for EVERYTHING!!!
Mrs. Spakausky would like to wish you a very Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year!
See you in 2009!

Roller Skating-
Ms. Stainman needs parent volunteers to help tie roller skates during PE classes for third grade. She needs help the week of January 8-January 22. You can come as many or as few of times as you want and can go into any other class or your child's own.
We have gym from 11:05-11:30 everyday. You can email her at tstainman@ccsd66.org if you are interested. Thanks for your help.
