Signup forms were sent home with each student.
5th Grade Musical: "Snow Biz!"
Nurse Christmas Wish List!
1. Pants for little boys and girls
If your little one has outgrown their pants/shorts, our school clinic would love to have them on hand for others to borrow when there's an 'oops!'
Simple tips for a successful school day:
- Eat breakfast, even if just a protein/snack bar.
- Bring a water bottle to school. Studies show being properly hydrated improves memory and allows for longer attention spans. Students perform better on school work! Drinking water throughout the day also keeps headaches at bay!
- Bring a snack to school. Having a snack helps with tummy aches and headaches too!
Have a happy and healthy holiday season!
Love,
Nurse Marcia
Recess monitors are also looking for mittens or gloves for students to borrow at recess :)
The Stack Pack
Creative and Caring
Green Tree had a "Door Decorating Contest" during the month of December!
Everyone with a door could enter, and the theme of the contest was our Character Word of the Month: Caring. The students all got involved in the fun and every door turned out spectacular! PTO parents generously offered to judge the contest based on a preset list of criteria. Watch the video below to see all of the awesome doors, and to see who won!
