Happy New Year

Welcome back,
The months ahead always seem to fly by, please continue to monitor you child's homework and study habits and discuss daily and weekly goals with them, then help them achieve these small goals.
This week looks to be especially exciting. On Tuesday (Jan. 11) the junior high will be visiting the Museum of Tolerance (www.museumoftolerance.com), a field trip that challenges the way we perceive one another and will surely prove to be a memorable day. On Friday, the author of "Saltwater Taffy" Eric Delabarre will speak to the sixth and seventh grades. Mr. Delabarre is a creative and kind friend and will be discussing the challenges he faces as a writer as well as helpful tips to help us all become great writers too.

Talk to you soon,
J. Murphy
