Week of December 9, 2024

 Please Note

- I hope you all had a nice weekend! We have another busy week here as we begin the second trimester and continue to prepare for Christmas.

-We will complete our Letter to Santa for homework on Monday night so we have time to mail them off to the North Pole.  We usually receive a response from Santa’s elves during lunch with our buddies after bowling. ;-)

- Wednesday night will be the K-4 Christmas Concert. The kids should wear their Sunday/Christmas best. Please no jeans. Please have your child arrive at church by 6:15pm. They can go right to their pew where we have been practicing. After the performance, you can pick them up from their pew. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. FYI...It was mentioned that parking in the Rite Aid lot is no longer an option.

- Our Buddy Bowling Trip is scheduled for Thursday, December 19th.  Please complete the permission form sent from the office via Option C.  Remember the students will be provided with lunch so there is no need to order. Last call for chaperones for the trip.

-Report cards will be sent home on Friday. Please remember that these grades reflect your child's schoolwork and test scores. You may keep the actual report card at home. Please just sign and return the envelope. If you have any questions, please let me know.

-We will have a math test on Tuesday on place value. A review will be sent home for homework.

- Test folders will be sent home on Wednesday please sign and return on Thursday.
