Thank You Notes

Students in all of Mrs. Oshman's history classes (and in some other LHS history classes as well) have been asked to bring in a note of gratitude for the Leominster Firefighters who battled the blaze downtown on the weekend of November 24th.This can be a store bought thank you note or a hand-made / hand-written sentiment.
...
Students who turn in a Thank You note will receive a Homework plus point, so not only can it bring some joy to our firefighters in knowing that they're appreciated, it can also add some extra credit to a student's grade.
...
If any parents or family members would llike to contribute Thank You notes of their own, please send them to school with your student and they will be delivered to the Leominster Fire Department all together.

Thank You!
