OREGON FOOD BANK FIELD TRIP AND CANNED FOOD DRIVE CONTEST Our fieldtrip to the Oregon Food Bank is scheduled for Thursday, December 11. Please arrive at HOA by 8:30, we will return to the school by 12:00. I am looking for 5 more parent volunteers to come with us. If you are interested, please make sure that your volunteer application is current through the Hillsboro School District and let me know so I can put you down on the list. I am really excited about this fieldtrip and look forward to the opportunity to serve our community with your students during this time of year. Permission slips are located in the Forms section of my website (www.mrskellar.weebly.com) or your student can pick one up at the school this week or next. Our canned food drive is going great! We will collect canned food up until the day of the fieldtrip, so keep it coming! Here is a website that will tell you which foods Oregon Food Bank needs the most:

PACE? CONCERNS? Please let me know if you have any concerns with pace or curriculum at any time. I would love to sit down with you and chat, either in person or on the phone. Also, email is great too! I am here to help you! You may notice in the coming weeks that I will be reaching out to you more through personal emails in an effort to improve my own teaching practices. This is not a reflection of anything that you have/have not done, but it is something that I have identified as a way to stay connected to you all better. My goal is to improve the frequency of communication and feeling of transparency between school and home. Please let me know if you ever have any questions or concerns.
Thanks for all you do to encourage success for your student! It has been great working with you all!
