GREETINGS McNEAR FAMILIES
In many cultures, the most important people are those with the greatest life experience. At McNear we try to embrace that concept with Elders' Day. A big thank you to Lily Kreimer for putting together this year's event. She did all the work last year and then the fires caused cancellation, so it's nice that everyone got to enjoy learning from these truly special members of our community this time around.
Next week school is closed, so on behalf of the PTA Board I'd like to wish you all a great Thanksgiving. The first part of the school year has gone very well, thanks to the support of the entire community.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Neil
