Happy New Year

Class notes from Mrs. Farmer and Mrs. Hockey: 

    We are starting off the new year with a BANG!!!!!  We are getting very serious about our role as a 5th grader as the second half of the year starts.  Ms. Hockey and I are looking forward to seeing parents next week during conference week.  We have heard from almost everyone, there are a few conferences that have not been confirmed. Please respond soon. 

The 2nd Nine week Auction will be held on Friday, February 6th.  Please help by sending in treats or rewards that benefit the students.
