Week of 10/13/08 - 10/17/08


Baseball season is now officially over, in my eyes, at least... I see the trees are beginning to change color and I hope you all take advantage of the beautiful Autumn weather this 3-day weekend! Also, please make sure you check your child's progress on-line. If you have questions or problems doing so, contact the office and they will help you.
