Miss Pellin's Post
February 18th through February 22nd


Remember that Monday, February 18th is Presidents' Day! There will be no school. Do you know the correct spelling of this holiday? Since Presidents Day is not the official name of the federal holiday, there is no one way to spell it. Both Presidents Day and Presidents' Day are common, and both are considered correct by dictionaries!

Thank you to all the parents who helped with the Valentine's Day Party! The students had a lot of fun!

Spring picture day will be on Thursday, February 21st.  

The Seventh Week of 2013 at School:
Science: We will begin the study of space in chapter 10.
