Dear Families,
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the Talent Show on Wednesday. We had a very nice turnout of family, friends, and staff on Zoom and in person. The students did a wonderful job of performing showing clearly that lots of practice pays off.
Next week, we have MAP testing. See full details below. Please ensure that your child gets a good sleep and breakfast. Results from the MAP test are used by teachers to make instructional decisions for your child.
The weather is vacillating. Some days are very cold and others are mild. Please ensure your child has the proper clothing for outdoor recess.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Christine Pfaff - Principal

NEW *Winter Classroom Parties ~ Volunteers Needed*
The Winter classroom party will be held on Thursday, December 22nd from 2:00 - 2:45 pm. We have LOTS of open slots for party volunteers. Please head over to Membership Toolkit to sign up. If the two spots are filled please put your name on the waitlist so we can contact you if a spot opens up. Thank you for your willingness to volunteer to make the classroom parties fun for our kids.
REPEAT *Recess During the Winter*
For students to play in the snow, they must have snow pants, boots, gloves, and a jacket. This applies to both the field and the playground area. This ensures that their clothes, hands, and feet are dry for lunch and the remainder of the afternoon. Students who do not have snow pants and boots can still play on the blacktop area.
