Notes from the Teachers * As we just discussed student progress at conferences this week, there is no behavior/work completion section at the bottom of this newsletter this week. *It was great to see so many families at Parent/Teacher Conferences.  If you were unable to attend, and would still like to discuss your child’s progress please just send a note, call, or email. Thanks! *Thank you so much to the Carbondale Fire Department for coming all week to teach the entire 5th grade about Fire Safety.  This program has been around for over 25 years and is one we really look forward to and appreciate. * Popcorn is sold every Friday for 25¢. *	How to contact us: Lewis School: 457-2632 Mrs. Jenkins: ext. 2257 bjenkins@ces95.org Mrs. Liss: ext. 2256 jliss@ces95.org Ms. Vaughn: ext. 2253 hvaughn@ces95.org - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Don’t forget to check out our classroom blog at lewis5.blogspot.com.
