Dear Fourth Grade Families,

I am happy to be back from my three-day visit to St. Joseph School in

Chehalis. I was one of a six member team sent by the Seattle Archdiocese to observe and report on the school as part of the accreditation process. St. Joseph is the only Catholic school in Lewis County and serves six parishes. They have a wonderful, dedicated staff, supportive parents, and 160 enthusiastic students. We worked hard and I learned so much.

Today we finished the last of our ITBS tests. The children were very serious about their testing and did such a good job. Make up tests for those absent will be this week and next, until completed.

*No Spelling test this week.

*Diaper bag donations due by Wednesday

*Book orders due by Wednesday

*Thanksgiving Assembly, 10:30 on Wednesday, noon dismissal

I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with your very special children. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday.

Margie Babb
