Dear Parents/Guardians:

On Wednesday, February 13th, at 3PM, in the classroom next to the Kindergarten, Mrs. DeEsso (School Counselor) will be conducting a presentation titled "Thriving Teens".

The main focus of this presentation is to help parents of middle school students meet the challenges of raising a teen in the modern era. This presentation is based on the thriving teen curriculum developed by the Child Study Center at New York University. This presentation is for parents only.

Baton classes will resume tomorrow, February 8th, at 3:30 PM.

We will be having a Writing Workshop (2 parts) on February 23rd and March 1st. Information sheets have been handed out.

Our 7th grade students are looking forward to hosting our Valentine's Day Dance on February 15th at 7PM in the cafeteria. The cost is $20 per family (limit of 5) with $5 for each additional family member. If you are paying at the door the cost will be $25. Please fill out the tear-off on the bottom of this letter. We must have numbers ahead of time. Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,



T. Ferraro
Principal
