Week of January 9, 2011

This will be a very busy week. In addition to math, spelling, and writing we will be preparing for our Muffin Morning on Friday. This preparation will include finishing inventions, preparing a short speech and getting ready to portray their inventor of choice. If they haven't already told you who they are portraying please ask them. Be sure to save the time if possible to spend 45 minutes to an hour with us on Friday morning. We will gather at 8:30 and begin presenting. Muffins and juice will be available for light snacks.

Singing practices will occur almost daily because we are getting ready both for the nursing home and for the Stage III presentation of "Lean on Me" on Monday evening during the MLK event. The children who are participating in this will need to come to the CCB on Monday, Jan. 17 at 5:30. We hope you realize that this is an event open to the entire community and helps remind us about the need for building a stronger, non-judgmental community. The event begins with soup, has a performance part and ends in the Big Dome with a candlelight walk. Please let us know for planning purposes if you intend to come that evening. We would love to see you all there.

The annual Stage III Can Drive for Gleaners began on Tuesday with a presentation from Sarah Blight of Gleaners. Her presentation was one that has moved many of us to take additional action on behalf of the hungry people in Oakland County. There are can collection boxes set up in the lobby of the Steward Building near the stairs leading to the upstairs floor. We are again sorting the food by color in an effort to donate a wider, more thoughtful range of foods. But, the need for rainbow foods also helps each of us think more carefully about the foods we eat. If you would go through your pantries and find foods that you would be willing to donate, Stage III and Gleaners would be most grateful.

Things to remember:

Is your permission slip in for Tuesday's singing trip?

Has your child told you who they are portraying?

Tuesday is late start morning, have you RSVP'd for morning care if you need it? Remember it is in the CCB and drop off starts at 7:30.
