11/15/17
Happy Wednesday,
Join CIA for the FIRST EVER TURKEY TROT at Rolling Hills Middle School! See attached flyer below.
It looks like we will have 1 more high school tutor in our Homework Center!
Regarding the short story packets: If your child’s packet says, “Writer’s Fair”, they will need to make some corrections and resubmit a clean copy to me. I will need to have the original packet back as well. The clean copy should not be stapled together. Writer’s Fair stories are due back by Thursday, November 30.
The end of the trimester is Friday, November 17. Thanksgiving break is from November 20-24. We will return to school on Monday, November 27.
Magic the Gathering club will be meeting in room B-1 on Monday, November 27. All students are welcome. There is no cost to participate in this club. The club is scheduled to meet twice a month. A reminder that if your child is struggling with math, they should be in Mrs. Donovan’s room for homework help on Mondays!
The musical production of Annie will be performed at RHMS on Thursday, November 30 - Saturday, December 2. They always do a great job with the school play — I hope that everyone can attend!
