By now, you should have received a packet of information about our upcoming Civil War reenactment on Friday, May 1st. In this packet was; the permission slip, information letter with the student's regiment, an informational pamphlet stating the events of the day, and a sheet explaining how to write a Civil War letter.
There have been a handful of students that have turned in their permission slip and fee ($6.00) already! I have a reminder on the agenda board that will stay up all week to help students bring the signed form back with the money.
The other most important piece of information that came home was about a Civil War letter. Each family was asked to have someone write a letter to their "soldier" that they will open the day of the reenactment. A parent, grandparent, or sibling can write the letter. The informational page in the packet gives ideas about what to include in the letter. The day of the reenactment, there will be a "mail call" station that all students visit. At that time, each student will be given the letter from their family member(s). If a student does not have a litter from their family, they will receive one written from a student at Badger.
**But as I'm sure you can guess...it would be more exciting to read a letter that someone from your family wrote.
Please complete the Civil War letter for your child, put it in an envelope with just their name, and return it to school by Monday, April 27th!
