HAPPY 2014!!!
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. I wrote out individual thank you notes to each student and hope that the notes were shared with parents for the very generous gift card to Yorktown Mall and money for classroom supplies. Thank you very much for contributing to the class gift and/or the separate gifts. I was really spoiled. I can't thank all of you enough for being so thoughtful.
2014 sure has come in with a flurry!!! I had two flights cancelled trying to get home from California only to be welcomed to the brutal cold and snow. I actually missed the students during the two snow days......

TOO GOOD FOR DRUGS: Today was our first session with Deputy Seward with the Dupage County Sheriff's Office. Your child has a letter that explains the program and what your child will be learning during the next 10 weeks. Please take the time each week to ask your child about the interactive "family" assignment which corresponds with information covered during school. We are all working together to make sure your child can make great decisions! If at any time you have any questions about the program, feel free to contact me or Deputy Seward (630) 407-2367.
