Mrs. Marshall’s Family Festivities 2006-2007

 

Each month this school year, you will have a chance to chat with other parents, get to know your child’s friends, and get more involved with what your child is learning and doing in school through a variety of fun, family-oriented activities. 

 

I have tried to place the events on different days of the week since some parents can only make it on certain days.  There are a few events in the afternoon that some may be able to attend on their lunch break or on a half day of work.  I know it can be very difficult to come to the school during the workweek, but hopefully the advance notice will help you plan your time so you can attend as many events as possible.  PLEASE be sure to attend the Open House in September- there will be a LOT of information given that night and I want everyone to be ‘in the loop’.

 

 

Please note that all of the dates and activities listed are TENTATIVE and scheduled to change; however, the outline (over) should give you an idea of what type of activities to look forward to this year.  I look forward to spending time with you!
