Miss Brown's Bulletin
Week of December 7-11
We're Going On A Field Trip!
On Thursday, December 17 we will be leaving school around 8:15 a.m. to head to the Madison Theater in Madison, IN where we will enjoy a showing of How The Grinch Stole Christmas. At the movies they will enjoy popcorn and a soda, and following the movie we will return to Cartmell for the remainder of the day. We will be back in time for a school lunch so there is no need to pack one.
Cost of the trip is $7 and is due by Friday, December 11. If money is an issue, please contact me so I may help. Also, we will only need two parents per room to chaperon and I will be calling from my volunteer list to find them. I hope everyone gets to enjoy this fun trip!

Next week Santa's Workshop will be here at Cartmell. Students can shop Dec. 7-9 and we will go as a class one of those days. It will also be open Dec. 8 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. if you would like to bring your child yourself to shop. Gifts range from $.50 to $15.
Goals *IMPORTANT*
Compass goals are due Friday. Check Monday's report to see if your child has met their goal and/or how many they need to get there. If your child is significantly behind, I will be calling you to set up some after school times for your child to stay behind and work on their goals. Our celebration for meeting goals will be December 18. You won't want to miss it! Work hard to get there!
