Week of December 14-21, 2007

Hello Parents!

We have had a crazy week! The students worked very hard at staying focused while counting down the days until winter break! This week, the students worked on a variety of holiday activities and even heard Spanish Christmas carols from the students taking a Spanish class.

Also, thank you very much for all of the thoughtful gifts! They will definitely be put to good use, especially with a baby Whelan on the way. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

I hope that all of you have a safe, relaxing holiday and a very happy new year!
