General News: (1) Green colored cards entitled Parent-Pupil Survey cards came home Monday & need to be completed & returned on Tuesday. Please follow the directions on the white sheet sent home with the green card. Be sure to sign it before returning it. Students in my homeroom returning the card by Tuesday will receive a treat. (2) Our homeroom is to collect for the food drive mixed vegetables in a can. Whatever you have here by next Friday 11/14, I’ll match on  Monday 11/17. For example, if you all bring in 20 cans, I’ll buy 20 more which means our class will have 40! (3) Veteran’s Day Assembly is Friday – wear red, white, & blue to HONOR the veterans – this is NOT a dress up wacky day
