There will be no homework for the weekend. However, I would like for my students to participate in the National Missing Children's Day Poster Contest. Each year more than 1.3 children are reported missing. Law enforcement, citizens, and even children have been instrumental in keeping children safe and returning them home to their families, community and school. Every year the U.S. Department of Justice takes time to commemorate the valiant and unselfish acts of the many organizations and individuals who bring our missing children home.
Your child has an opportunity to take part in this memorable event.
There are three levels to which your child's poster will have to obtain in order to attend the Annual National Missing Children's Day Ceremony in Washington, D.C.--local level (in class), State level, and the National level. I will be sending home a packet with further information. The poster is due by January 7, 2010.
Spelling and Vocabulary words are posted to the right. Take advantage and study ahead of time.
