Monday's Tattler

Good morning! It's another Monday and we're ready for another new week at school. This week it's campaign week, and we will run for the office of Garden School President. All the children can participate and run for the office. Campaigning will include a time when children can speak out about their issues and talk about how they hope to benefit the school and the lives of their classmates.

Our last year's officer was outstanding. He met incoming students, shook visitors' hands and helped out in lots of projects. David was a fine officer.

Campaign stickers, notes, signs and giveaways (like suckers) are all within bounds. Let your child be the inventor of his campaign.

Voting will be on Tuesday, February 24.

We will be going out as much as we can in these temperature up and temperature down days. According to the weather, we should have a couple of 50s days. Snow one day, but it's only a chance.

Your child should be wearing long sleeves on cold days. We've had a lot of summer clothes lately, and we want you to know that the school is about 66 degrees. A lower temperature in the building actually reduces illness. I hope you have noticed how few colds there have been this year.

The faculty would like to thank the parents for an absolutely wonderful party last Friday. It was one of our best. The children were adorable and seemed to enjoy learning to dance. They certainly learned well enough to enjoy themselves at the dance. I will be posting pictures all week.

Congratulations go to Vonda and Joe for being our first dancing couple. They got the box of candy!

Copies of my book Porkchops are available if anyone would like one.
