Student of the Week
Jimmy
Dear Parents,
Many of the children have been wearing "Silly Bandz" to school. Unfortunately, like any toy, they are a distraction to your children. We are asking you to instruct your child to keep their "Silly Bandz" at home. This will prevent us from having to take them away in the classroom. Thank your for your cooperation, we appreciate your help in trying to keep the children as focused as possible during their school day.
