Dear LINKS,
I am so so proud of you this week. Your behavior at OAC, as well as your kindness, love and respect for the students we saw was just wonderful. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it always just makes me so happy to see you all take it in and accept OAC and its students for what it is.
I am also beyond proud of you for your response to Madison's service project idea. I know how excited many of you were after seeing OAC, and for us to give back to them will be a perfect end to our trip. I think they will really appreciate this gift from us. Gah. I just love you guys. It's hard to think about only having 3 weeks left with you! :-(
On to happier thoughts... Temple Grandin! So glad you all are loving this movie! Many of our choir people have now watched it all the way through and loved it. We will be finishing it up on Wednesday as well as discussing a few other things (*cough* final project *cough*). I would also love to have a small party! We will enjoy treats while finishing our movie and chatting. Please fill out the form below.

**UPDATE! (12/15/14)**
We have LOTS of cookies and sweets coming in! If you are able to bring something to drink or something a bit more healthy/salty, that would be appreciated!
This week I want to give you an opportunity to view Temple Grandin and to hear her speak. You will see just how well of a job Claire Danes does in portraying Temple. I am always amazed.
Please view this video link and then check the homework tab for your instructions.
Finally, I want to congratulate our Star LINK of the Month for November! Congratulations to....
Ella Peterman!
So proud of you and the work that you are doing with the boys! I will get you a lunch of your choosing next week! (Help remind me please!)
Have a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to a fun week ahead as we are sprinting into this holiday season!
