mistake the calendar section of the yesterday's jabberlite did not include December 25th as Christmas Day.<br>

<div><pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">We want to assure the community that it was not an intentional omission. It occurred as a result of an editing error, while transferring the data from the EXCEL<br>
spreadsheet to the jabberlite. The calendar on the Cabot PTO website does include it. We do apologies for this.<br>
<br>
We would like to reiterate that your input is not only critical but also essential to successful operation of the PTO, and once again thanks to all of you <br>
who share your feedback with us. We have made necessary changes to the calendar and again send our apologies.<br>
<br>
Following is a quote from Dr. Quarcoo as a response to this issue:<br>
<br>
"... All celebrations and observances are respected at Cabot and in>Newton. I continue to encourage teachers to include <br>
the Christmas holidays celebrated by Christians in discussions as we do many other religious and cultural seasonal observances..<br>
I believe we could do an even better job by increasing those religious beliefs we acknowledge and discuss in school. Religion<br>
is a common shared cultural aspect of many groups. I will join with the PTO to offer a timely apology for this omission regardless<br>
of the reason!"<br>
<br>
The calendar section of the jabberlite should be read as follows:<br>
