Good afternoon everyone.  Tomorrow is another PD day so please do not pull yourself out of bed early unnecessarily.  I hate to see a good sleep in wasted.  Keep your eyes on the homework updates in the column to the right as well as the "Important Dates For February" list.

Below is a copy of the note that went home today.  Please be sure to have a parent/guardian indicate whether or not you have permission to see the movie and return it ASAP.

Have a fabulous long weekend.

Dear Parents:

As we complete our holocaust unit in E.L.A., we would like to show the movie “Schindler’s List”. The movie fits nicely as a culminating activity to the Literature Circles we have studied.  We will be watching the movie Friday, February 17^th, 2017.

Schindlers List   14-A

Arguably Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece, this gripping adaptation of Thomas Keneally’s novel tells a story of Oscar Schindler (Neeson), a German industrialist who saved upward of 1,100 Jews from the Nazi death camps by employing them in his factory during the war. This film won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1993.

The movie has some nudity, which would be fast-forwarded.  There are some graphic scenes of WWII and life in concentration camps.

The students must bring this form back with a parent signature giving approval to watch this movie.  If for any reason you would not want to let your son/daughter watch this movie, simply state this below.  An alternate activity will be provided for students not watching the movie.  If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to call the school at 306-791-8585.

Sincerely,

Kevin Yeske
