AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
In ASP, we have many events planned for December. Our focus this month is on community service and nutrition. Angela Wotton from USDA will be visiting us with some nutritional education activities and recipes for our students. On December 10th, we are going to Presque Isle for the Wintergreen Express. We will be participating with Wreaths Across America at the Evergreen Cemetery on December 18th.
STUDENT COUNCIL CORNER
Our student council will again support The Ark Animal Sanctuary by having our Adopt-A-Kitty Tree. Anyone can sponsor a cat from the tree with a $20 donation or $20 worth of supplies, treats and/or cat toys. Donations will be collected by Mrs. Faulkingham before school and at dismissal time. When you sponsor a kitty, you will receive a picture of your kitty for your tree at home.
