Surgery News

       I will be having my gallbladder removed on Tuesday, February 11^th.  I will be absent that Tuesday through Friday.  Luckily, Mrs. Crabbe, who is a wonderful substitute, will be with the children for that week.  I did talk with the children this morning about the surgery.  We talked about how the surgery is not serious.  If your child has any questions about it, feel free to talk to them about it.  They may feel nervous about it, or they may not.  I just wanted to make sure they didn’t hear the word “surgery” and get frightened for me, so that is why I told them about it.  Thanks, as always, for all of the encouraging remarks!  You all are truly the best!

Bloggy Goodness

            As I mentioned in an earlier Weekly, I am taking a technology course at Georgetown College.  One of our main assignments is to have a blog.  I have created one that is intended for you to use!  Keep in mind that it is a work in progress.  If you would like to visit, the web address is : http://kentuckyclassroom.org/vfields/

Mystery Reader

       Thanks so much to Mrs. Griffith for coming in and reading to us!  The children absolutely loved it.  Again, I want to have parents, grandparents, community members, anybody we can think of to come in and be a Mystery Reader.  If you would like to participate or if you know someone else who could come, please contact me.   I am willing to work around anyone’s schedule.   

Important News for Parents and Guardians 

** Due to our snow days, we will be going to school on February 15^th or March 7^th.  These were formerly days off for students, but we will ALL need to report to school that day.

**  We love to see parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and guardians at lunch time!  Please feel free to come and eat with your child at 10:45.  Lunch is $3.25 for adults.   Please take note that it is school policy that no outside food from restaurants (like McDonald’s) is allowed at Dixie.
