Sparkles: Our field trip to Sparkles is this Wednesday! I am still missing three permission slips. Please note that I must have a signed permission slip on file so that your child may attend the field trip with us. I have sent home another permission slip to those students who do not have one already. If your child's binder does not contain a permission slip then I already have one for him or her! A reminder note will be coming home in your child's binder tomorrow. Please be on the lookout for this reminder as it contains important information regarding the field trip! Thank you to Jen Greenberg and Cheryl Watford for volunteering to chaperone!
A Hero's Welcome: Last year, we adopted Lt. Cameron West's platoon and began to send care packages to his platoon in Afghanistan. Shortly after, Lt. Cameron West was wounded and had to come home; however, Frey continued to send care packages to his platoon in Afghanistan until the end of the school year. On Friday, 12/16/11 Lt. Cameron West will be visiting our school to thank all of the students. We are holding a "Coins for Cameron" drive on this Tuesday and Wednesday. We are planning to present Lt. Cameron West with a check for the Wounded War Foundation on Friday, 12/16th. At 10:00 AM, our students will line the hallways for our "Hero's Welcome Walk of Honor". The students will stand in the hallways, holding the American Flag, as Lt. Cameron takes the "Walk of Honor" at Frey. He will walk down each hallway so that each student will be able to see him and thank him for his service to our Country. Our staff and students are asked to wear their Lt. Cameron shirt from last year, the Patriotic Frey Shirt, or red, white, and blue on this day. The presentation of the check will be broadcasted from the Media Center to the classrooms and Lt. Cameron will take a moment to speak to the students from this broadcast.
This won't be the first time Lt. Cameron West has walked the halls of Frey. He took his first "Walk of Honor" as a 5th grader in May of 1997, when he graduated from Frey Elementary School. Lt. Cameron West is very special to us because he was a former Frey student. It is an honor to have him come and visit us and we are so proud of this Marine.
In addition, each student that sends in a donation on this Tuesday and Wednesday will receive a link to add to our Rachel's Challenge Chain of Kindness.
Thank you so much for your support!
