Exciting week with play, snowfall at grammar school
as it our week wasn't thrilling
and exciting enough with Christ
mas play practice and two perfor
mances of "The Littlest Tree", to
top it all off with our first snowfall
and early dismissal was quite a
surprise. I've never seen kids (not
to mention teachers) quite so
happy as they were last Friday. My
students left their nose prints on the
window panes as they eagerly
awaited that first flake and lo and
behold it came and brought all its
friends too. For a little while it was
quite beautiful to watch, but alas, it
ended too soon for me. I guess this
mess that winter is now officially
upon us!
Did you get to see the Christmas
play? If not you missed a real treat.
It was very special - everyone did a
fabulous job. Mrs. Parr would like
to especially thank the 4th grade
teachers, Mrs. Green, Mrs. Ferrell,
Mrs. Whidbee and Mrs. Hurdle fdor
all their help. Also, thanks to Miss
Ansink and Mrs. Overton for their
help with the set. Special thanks to
Mrs. Siville for her wonderful cos
tumes and to Mr. Bryant, Mr. Tice,
and the cafeteria staff for their
help. Lastly, thanks to all the teach
ers for their help and understand
ing during the week and to the kids
for a wonderful job!

Here is some wonderfully crea
tive 3rd grade writing :
Under My Bed by Niliah Chobot
This is a true story. I had an alli
gator under my bed. His name was
Fred. (That's a little name but I
like it.) Sometimes Fred was nice.
Other times he was mean. One time
he made me get my leg jammed un
der the dresser. One time he was
nice. He gave me a baby doll. Then
he was real, real mean. He made
me have nightmares. My grandpa
put him down the drain. That was
the end of Fred.
When I Am Lonely by David Cartw
right
When I am lonely, I talk on the
phone with my friend, Milton. We
talk about animals - dogs, cats and
pigs. Then my friend, Travis, will
come over to spend the night and
we have fun
Computers by Cara Coates
I love going to computers at
school. I think it is fun. We do math.
I always do addition because it will
help me. I'm glad we go to comput
ers. It's the funniest thing in school.
I think computers are great. I wis"h
we could go there every single day.
I think that would really be fun.
Wow! We've had kids winning
stuffed animals in the lunchroom
right and left all week. This week's
winners were: Rachael Taylor,
Shena Moore, Elichia Daniels, Car
son White, Altonnette Goodman,
Keena Riddick, Dymont Spellman,
Amanda Davis, Shaun Brooks,
Brandi Curry, Torrence Perry,
Ebony Elliott, Jermine Porter,
Eric Burton, and Paul Matthews. It
really pays to stary alert.
The following poem is very sep
cial because it's written by a young
man, who wrote the poem on his
own and then brought it to school
and typed it on the computer (real
motivation)
Dayswork by Barry McDonagh -
3rd grade - Hoggard
Just before I go to bed, to me each
night a book is read.
Just before I go to sleep I pray
the Lord my soul to keep.
In the morning I wake up, I see my
Mom standing over me, saying get
out
of bed you sleepy head.
I run out the front door to catch
my bus, sometimes I think I al
ready
missed it. Oh, what a rush!
But when I hear it go beep beep.
I don't need to worry, I didn't over
sleep.

financial planning*
DO SOME YEAR-END PLANNING
Only a small p?rcentage of individual* spend mors time planning
for their financial futures than they spend reading the T.V. Guide.
Tax dollars saved or deferred are an essential part of financial plan
ning and wealth accumulation. Some time spent on year-end tax
planning is likely to provide a good return.
The tax laws nave changed dramatically over the past few years.
It is important for you to understand whicn deductions are no longer
available to you. If you have children under age fourteen, you need
to be aware of the "kiddie tax" which taxes your children's un
earned income in excess of $1,000 at your highest tax rate, you
need to know that the new tax laws help make your home and sec
ond home among the most important tax shelters remaining.
If you started a new business during 1988, you shold look into the
possibility fo a $10,000 deduction for equipment purchased to start
the business. You should investigate the benefits of paying your
children for work they perform for the business.
There may be retirement plpns available to you that you ore not
taking advantage of that would build up tax-free Income until you
are ready to retire. Charitable contribution deductions have been
changed very little, and the contribution of non-cash items Is an
area that may be worth exploring.
Traditionally, yeor-end tax advice suggests that you defer part of
your income to the following year to avoid paying taxes In te cur
rent year; however, there Is a possibility that tax rates may in
crease after this yeor. This standard strategy must, therefore, be
carefully analyzed this year.
Arrange for a tax planning conferene at your eorliest convenience
in order to minimize your 1988 tax bill.
