Good Morning,
This week we have been learning about letter writing. We are writing letters as part of The Big Thank You. This is a collection of handwritten notes for soldiers who are not at home with their families on Thanksgiving. Our students are not including any personal information in these letters aside from their first names. If you would not like for your child's letter to be sent, please let me know. If you would like for their letter to be sent, you do not need to do anything. Letters will be sent this Friday. Thank you! Mrs. Carla Teuchert |
