Monday note 10-25-10

General
I hope you all had a nice longer weekend. The conference was good that we attended. This week Thurs. is the field trip to the Macomb Community College about brainstorming. Don't forget to pack a lunch for your child as we will be returning after the scheduled lunch. Drivers be here by 10:15 so we can load and leave by 10:30 am. This Wed. is the special Reformation Service at 10:00 am. Peace, Warren, St. Luke and St. John, Fraser will be joining us. You also are welcome to worship with us. Friday is the end of the first quarter. All late and absent work should be turned in by that time. Report cards will be sent home on Friday Nov. 6. Parent-teacher conferences are the following week. Please make sure your conference request sheet is turned in by this Wed. If it is being sent back with a younger child, have your child tell me that it is in. Almost everyone has brought in a bar of soap, we still have till Wed. to meet our goal. If your child can't donate at this time, have them tell me instead of having it look like they don't want to help out. I didn't get the entertainment books handed out today. They are lying on your child's desk as I type. Read the information about the books, just make sure you return your family book if you don't want to sell it. Next week the school day will be 15 minutes longer. Read the information in the Trinity Leader. I will have a new schedule for the classroom by that time. Halloween is coming up this weekend, I don't do anything in the classroom for Halloween so there aren't any parties etc. There is a dress down day on Friday - it is a pay one, but that is as good as it gets. The money goes to Covenant House in Detroit. The 8th grade is also selling cookies - 2 for 50 cents- which will be added to the dress down day money for Covenant House.
Work
Friday's memory is Rom. 6:23 found on page 37. There will be a spelling test on Friday, they will get their list tomorrow. There will be a math test on Thurs. and a Science test for chapter 2 on Wed. The Social Studies test was returned today and should be signed or a note by next Mon. There will be an English test next week probably Tues. Monthly Memory is due on Friday and the book reports are due on Friday.
Soccer
The soccer team has a home game on Tues. and an away game on Wed. That looks like that completes the season. There will be one day when all all fall sport uniforms should be turned in. That day has not been set. But wash the uniform as soon as possible after the last game both volleyball and soccer so it will be ready to return when the date is scheduled. Be looking for information for 5th and 6th basketball and cheerleading. That season is coming up before Christmas. You will be able to relax after the first of the year, because the next season for 5th and 6th grade is in the spring.
Other
Double check your child's school supplies. They may need to replace dry erase markers, red pens, maybe some pencils. Oh check the Trinity Leader for information about using fast direct for paying for lunch, bagels, milk and extras with the lunch program. We are going to try to eliminate the use of tickets and use the computer information for meal counts and for payment. It is explained in more detail in the leader. This will start on Nov. 1. It will help with lost tickets and forgotten tickets. That is all for today.
In His Service,
Deanna Hollrah
