Dear 4X Parents,

We hope you are enjoying your long weekend.

We are attaching a copy of a long term assignment.  A hard copy will  
come home with the kids on Tuesday but in case anyone wants a jump  
start...here it is!

Thursday, February 24 – 4x class trip to Sackler- Freer Museum on the  
National Mall to view Asian art
                                                   (Travel by school  
bus - 9:00 to 12:00 am)  The children will eat lunch when they return  
to school so bagged lunches are NOT needed.

In addition, the children’s report cards will be available for viewing  
online on Friday, February 25th.   Could you please let Merry and Pam  
know that you have read the report by sending a note or an email  
before the conferences.  They will be discussing the reports in depth  
at the conferences.

Finally, please read through the PA announcements below.  Please pay  
special note to the Drive for food, toiletries and baby items.   
Donations are down this year and we need them so that the younger  
classes can do their service projects.  Your students can drop off  
near the front door of he Manor House.

Thanks very much,

Estee and Peggy
