Tis the Season!

Happy Holidays! I hope you are enjoying your preparations for the Christmas season. I will be absent this Tuesday as I attend a training at the ISD for our technology grant. The Christmas Program is Monday, Dec. 16. The program begins at 7:00. Students should arrive at 6:45 in their dress clothes (no jeans, please). Last week students drew the name of a classmate to purchase a small gift for. There is a $5 limit. If you may have trouble purchasing a gift, just let me know and I would be happy to do that for your child. I certainly don’t want it to be a financial burden but only a fun and thoughtful way to celebrate the season. If your child does not remember their person, feel free to call or email me and I can let you know. Have a great week!
