Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope every one had a great Thanksgiving. Here are some of the announcements and assignments for this week.

Progress Reports will be coming out on Decemeber 3. First Semester Report Cards will be coming out on January 5, 2005. There is a half day on December 8 for staff and site based inservice. We are taking a field trip to the Nutcracker on Decemeber 10. Chaperones are needed. Final examinations will be on full days on December 16 and 17. Winter Break is from December 18 to January 2 with school resuming on January 3. If there are any questions regarding a student, please email me at grandcanyonprep@aol.com or call me at 480 233 3622.

Thank you to every one who helped out with the Holiday Food and Clothes Drive. We know it helped some needy families in the area. Now, the Public Policy class needs your help in seeking $5.00 donations per students for the holiday gift drive. Last year, we were very sucessful in purchasing gifts for children who were down and out and we would like to do the same this year.

We know that we could not get an end of the year trip to Italy off the ground but were wondering if families were interested in an end of the year trip to New York City and Washington DC. the cost would be about $1,000 for 8-10 days. Please advise by Decemeber 15 if any one is interested.
