Monday 12/12: First grade shops Tuesday 12/13: 3 & 4 Christmas Program Friday 12/16: SCAAP Tuesday 12/20: Class Christmas Party Wednesday 12/21: Christmas break begins Tuesday 1/3/17- School Resumes Important Information: There WILL not be a spelling test next week or the week we return from break! Note from the Office: We have been noticing that more and more parents are dropping off students in the center of the parking lot, thereby, holding up traffic as the loop tries to exit the property. This also causes more concern for children approaching the building and is not our accepted process.  Please remember to only use the center of the parking lot to drop off children that need assistance with large projects or who have a handicap. In these cases, the parent is expected to accompany the student to the building. Only a few more days for the food drive! We will be collecting cans until 12/16. Our Christmas Program was lovely!! The children did a great job with speaking, singing, and dancing with the motions. This Monday first graders will be able to do secret shopping for Christmas. You received the information yesterday. If you want your child to shop please send in the money and filled-out envelope to help as a guide. We are continuing to add to our Jesse Tree during this Advent season. The students have learned more names for Jesus and will add them to their first grade book!
