PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
With the short week and the long weekend ahead of us we still wanted to get a short newsletter out to everyone with important dates and information.
Please take some much needed time to reflect on what is important in life and spend time with loved ones. The holidays can be so busy and with the demands placed on all of us we tend to forget what is truly important in life. I encourage all of you to relax this long weekend, hug those you love, and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
I leave you with two jokes for a little laughter over this holiday weekend:
Q: If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?
A: Pilgrims
Q: What sound does a turkey's phone make?
A: Wing, Wing
Please contact me with any questions or concerns you have about your child or school.
Mrs. Michalski

Holiday Concerts
The 5k-5th Holiday concert will be on Thursday, December 20th, 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. All students in grades 5K -5th will perform at both shows. Hoever to keep the crowd size down we are asking that families whose last names begin with M-Z attend the morning show at 9:30, and families whose last name begin with A-L attend the afternoon show at 1:30.

Notes from the Office
Abrams Family Tree: Abrams Elementary has a tree in the lobby. We would like to have the students help decorate the tree by decorating an ornament. Every family will receive a blank ornament to decorate. Ornaments will be sent home on November 20th. This is not a contest and there are no prizes. We would simply like to have every family represented on our Abrams Family Tree. Be sure that your name is displayed on one side of the ornament. Students can be returned On November 28th and will be returned to you on December 21st.
