Week of 5/12/08

We are nearing the end of the school year!  Can you believe it? 

Happy Mother's Day to all the great greyhound moms.  I hope you will enjoy your child's gift.  They worked very hard on it and it shows! Enjoy your day as you work very hard!

Now that we have celebrated Mother's Day, let's not forget Father's Day.  The children need to bring in a picture of their father.  It may be a picture of them with the children or child.  The picture needs to be a regular 4 x 6.  It could also be a picture of their grandfather, uncle, or any other significant male figure in their life! We would like to have those by May 16th.
