Hope you enjoyed another long weekend!  The teachers were busy at meetings preparing to better teach your children.  We're looking forward to using our new knowledge.

Special Notes:  *Popcorn will be sold for $.25 on Friday.  The students should bring their quarter in early so teachers may place their "order."
*PTA needs more members!  If you need another envelope, tell your child to tell me and I will send home another one.
*Our t-shirt design is in!  Order forms will go home next week!  I will post it on this blog if I can figure out how.  Right now it's not working...

Remember, breakfast is 7:15- 7:45!  If you want to eat, don't be late!

College tid bit for the week:

The first college established for African-American students was the Ashmun Institute on April 29, 1854. It was named after Jehudi Ashmun (1794-1826), an American minister who helped establish Liberia.  In 1866, Ashmun Institute was renamed Lincoln University.

Oberlin college was the first college to grant degrees to women in 1841.  It was also the first college to grant a bachelor degree to an African-American woman in 1862.
