Dear West Manheim Parents/Guardians,Happy New Year! I hope your holiday vacation was a relaxing time spent
with family and friends. I always look at the New Year as a new begin-
ning to create my yearly goals. Everyone knows that it is difficult to
make drastic changes in your life, so try and make attainable goals for
yourself that you can reach throughout the year. Some goals should be
met early in the year to show success. Others might take more of the
year to meet. I would encourage you to do this with your child also.
First, review both celebrations and struggles your child may have ex-
perienced in 2013.
Second, try and develop realistic goals to repeat celebrations and allevi-
ate the struggles they may have experienced.
Third, develop a timeline or game plan toward attaining the goal.
Following this simple plan will hopefully bring much delight to your
child's educational experience.
I would like to extend a big THANK YOU for your contributions to theFeed-A-Friend Marathon. The students collected non-perishable items
for distribution by the New Hope Ministries to local families. Also a spe-
cial THANK YOU goes out to everyone involved in the PTA Shopper's
Room. Many hours were devoted to making the event a rewarding expe-
rience for the children.
On January 20th, there will be no school for the students due to a teach-
er in-service day.
Best wishes for a successful, healthy new year to all of our students hereat West Manheim and their families!
Sincerely,
Brian M. Cromer

is now again up for grabs for the next trimester! Good luck, second grade!
Please help us remind your child to keep all library books in the provided plastic bag in his or
her backpack when they are not being read. This way books stay safe and can be returned
on time. Thanks for your help!
Remember Open Checkout is available to return and exchange books all day every day at the
discretion of your childs teacher. If your child is absent on library day, please remind him
or her to go to Open Checkout before the classs next library dayto avoid overdue mate-

Recently, Tomato Bredie was served to the stu-dents during our South African Diversity Day in December.
