 Thank you to everyone who helped prepare the children for their AMAZING Christmas Spectacular Show! They all did a wonderful job and really helped to put the Christmas Spirit into each of our hearts!

There was an over abundance of snacks and drinks at our show. We will be using some of the extra for our class Pajama Party in January and some for our End of Year activities. Some items will be outdated by then, so we donated those items to 8th Grade for their school store fundraising.

Winter is Here!!! We won't be going outside as often but we will try and get fresh air as often as possible. Please be sure the children have hats and mittens with them. Practice "Mittens in Hats and Hats in Sleeves"
