Weekly Message - December 16-20
The excitement is building for winter break! Sweaters and Santa hats are making a regular appearance throughout the school and energy levels are building. We have a full five-day week before the break which begins on Saturday, December 21. Students’ first day back to classes after the break is Monday, January 6.
Spirit Week – Holiday Theme
This week everyone is invited to join in our winter holiday spirit week. Let’s have some fun before heading into winter break! Monday is Career Day (dress in an outfit or wear a piece of clothing that represents a career), Tuesday is Holiday Character Day (Santa hats, reindeer antlers, elf ears!), Wednesday is Twin Day, Thursday is Anything but a Bag Day (get creative in carrying your belongings) and Friday is Pyjama Day.
Healthy Hunger Fun Lunch – Tuesdays & Wednesdays
We are extremely fortunate to continue offering Healthy Hunger as an easy way to order special lunches! Please register and order on the Healthy Hunger website. We are grateful to our dedicated group of parents who support this initiative, offering Healthy Hunger weekly is uncommon, and we could not do it without you.
