As you walk through the halls you may hear a holiday song and notice the wonderful bulletin boards. Don’t forget to mark your calendar for the Christmas Program. On Tuesday, Dec. 15th at 9:30 parents with the last names beginning with A-H are assigned to attend. In the afternoon on Dec. 15th at 1:30 parents with the last names beginning with I-P are to attend, and on Wednesday, December 16th at 9:30, parents with the last names beginning with Q-Z are scheduled. This schedule helps us to equalize the audience so that we are not over in our allowed auditorium capacity. We are excited to have the Student Council announcing the program this year!
I would like to thank all of you who contributed to our fundraiser. The PTA is in the final stages of ordering a play structure for the upper grades. This will provide students with additional physical activities for them to do during outside time contributing to healthy bodies!
We are looking at our goals and checking them twice as we continue to monitor our academic progress this year. The students scores appear to be progressing very well and we will have feedback through one measurement for the Fifth Grade from the State’s Direct Write Assessment administered on Dec. 1st. The Fourth Grade will take the Direct Math Assessment on Dec. 2nd. I anticipate a positive outcome for all!
The Student Council has organized a food drive this month to benefit the Food Bank. They are also conducting a “penny war” to provide additional funds. This was very popular with the students last year and they raised one of the highest amounts the Food Bank has received from a school.
We hope you all have a wonderful break during which you find time to spend time with your family and read many books! I know I have the books I want to read all ready to go!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
