Mrs. Cornell's Class
News for the week of Monday, October 8 - 12th
Dear Parents,
As you can see, I am trying out a new format for my newsletter.
It was great to see many of you at Open House last Tuesday. It’s so fun to see the students' excitement in showing their parents around their “school” world.
Many of you may know that we have been fortunate to have a wonderful foster grandparent, Grammy Mac, here every day. Grammy will be with us for the year and so loves helping us reach our goals.
Brrrrr! Students do spend about 20 minutes outside each day during recess. As the weather gets colder, please be sure your child has appropriate clothing for outside play. At Kennedy, we are collecting and distributing good, clean used winter clothing to students in need. When you start pulling out yours, if you find some that your children no longer need please consider sharing with our Kennedy families.
Thank you and have a GREAT week!
Mrs. Cornell
