Patriot Pride
Dec 2 - 9
December already!!
When December arrives it flies by like a whirlwind!! Please be fully prepared for how fast it will come and go. This is an exciting time for kids and staff ... Winter Break, holidays, travel plans, and family time ... as well end of year assessments of course performance (ACPs).
Before we all check out for the 9 days of freedom, please get with your team and have a solid plan for what will happen when we return. If the plan is created on Sunday December 1, it may not be as effective as it could be. Lets perform at our best for our kids.
Plan ahead so you can enjoy your 9 days of freedom without any stress.
And lastly, the United Way Campaign is still underway. Please see flyer below for details and perks of donating.
Thank you for what you do,
Vincent
Onward!
