The weather is supposed to be nice!

2.  Please check the cafe counter when you get there 

tomorrow:

           --Families need to sign-in (we are recording 

              attendance).

           --Check your family mailbox folder to see what's 

              inside! 

           --The draft membership directory will be out. Please 

              check your entry for accuracy and mark an "OK" 

              beside your name when done. 

           --Check out field trip and other sign-ups, to be sure 

              you don't miss out on anything. 

3.  If you have them to loan, please bring in magnifying 

     glasses for the kindergarten class to use. Label them with

     your name, and you can leave them on the counter. 
 
4.  For next week, the Irresponsible Science class is looking 

     for empty, clean coffee cans, metal or plastic, as long as 

     they have the lids.  Recycling at its best!

Tomorrow -- First Day of Co-op Classes!

Dear THESIS Families, 
 
Tomorrow will be an exciting day!  Just a few reminders... 
 
Park and enter by the Main Entrance.  We will meet in the Children's Church area 
to go over announcements and rules at 12:45 pm. 
 
All children should wear athletic shoes for gym.  Feel free to send a water 
bottle with your child for gym.  No other beverages, please. 
 
Kindergarteners please bring your labeled snack and set it on the cart by the 
door. 

**Please do not send any form of peanuts or peanut butter with your child, even if your child

can eat it. There are children in our group with severe peanut allergies.**

See you tomorrow! 

Junior High WV History Class -- Can you help?

Dear Families of Junior High students,

It is my pleasure to delve into West Virginia History with your kids and mine

this year!  I have learned a few things about my adopted state, and I will know a whole lot more when we finish this course.  We all will!

Here's how I could use some help:  Do you or yours have any stories about life in West Virginia that could be shared with the students?  Farming, coal mining, growing up stories that may be in your family history may seem commonplace to you but would really enhance our class time.  Please consider coming in to share anything West Virginian with this class!

Another way to help: please send in the research report your child did last year in writing class.  I would like to have these shared aloud with the class. 

Lastly, on Friday September 7, Coal Country Mini-Golf is open at 3 pm and is

giving us $1 off admission to play after our THESIS day.  If you have not played here, you'll like that every hole is constructed from coal mining equipment! This will be a fun way to kick off our class! 

Warmly,

Liz DeRoos, for THESIS
