I can’t believe it. Please make sure your child is wearing pants and has a jacket to go outside. If they do not have these items we may have to keep them inside due to safety. Winter sports are staring up. I would love to come to the kids’ games if you bring me a schedule! This week students took their STAR math and reading screener for the district. Each student was given their score and charted it in their leadership notebook. Please ask your child about their scores. If you would like to bring something to our holiday party please see the sign up sheet on Bloomz. 12/12/2015 Pancakes in Pajamas with Santa from 8AM-11AM 12/15 Zaxby’s Night 12/18 Holiday Party 1/4 School is back in session We are getting very close to the end of our first half!
