Many activities to commemorate Black History Week are planned for February, but Mrs. Smith’s third graders have already begun their search for their individual family ancestors to make family trees. Mrs. LiCavoli’s first graders are planning a play for parents. Mrs. Billups’ children have already presented a short dramatic play on the letters in Dr. Martin Luther King’s name to each classroom.
We are also looking forward to a regular story time at the DesPeres Branch Library with Mrs. McCarthy. Each room will go twice each month, and in addition to story hour, will obtain library cards, check out books, and learn to use the card catalogues and other facilities.
Our PTA has set a new regular meeting time. Meetings will be held at 7:30 pm on the second Wednesday of each month. Mark these dates on your calendar: February 15, March 15, April 12, and May 10. We look forward to seeing all parents in attendance. If you have not paid your dues of $2 per family per year, they are now being collected.
