Don’t give up now—you are almost there!     Additionally, please review the Page rules with your child….we would like all of our students to maintain appropriate behavior for the remainder of the year.  Your child should be able to recite (and explain) the rules to you, but in case they forgot, here they are:   1.   Respect others and yourself (this includes using appropriate language at all times!) 2.   Follow directions 3.   Always remember to keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.             4.   Take care of our school   Don’t forget! Kindergarten orientation is scheduled for Friday, April 24th, at our school.  If you have or know of any child living in our community who will be turning five on or before September 1, 2009, please contact our school secretary, Mrs. Snapp, at 301-989-5672, to make an appointment for registration on this day.   Quote of the Week:  212° Wisdom: “How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.”-------George Washington Carver PTA Needs
