3. I have introduced this year’s School Speech Contest. Information will be sent home today, but this year’s topic is “A Person Who Has Touched Many Lives.” I am asking the kids to begin trying to select the person they would like to write about and to begin gathering research. We will be doing much of the writing of the speech at school, but I will be asking the kids to continue to work on some of it at home.

This is just a reminder that we are traveling to Olde York on Monday. The kids should come dressed in a colonial style. Also, they may want to bring a snack to have when we arrive in York. Lunch is provided on the trip, but if your child tends to be selective with what they eat you may want to send along a bag lunch - school lunch will not be available.
Also, thank you again for all of your help with the Holiday Fair. Your kindness and support is truly appreciated by the entire Sea Road School community!
Enjoy your weekend.
