News you need to know!

SBE Facebook posts - If you have pictures that you would like for us to post on our SBE Facebook page, please send them to Mrs. Gauntt and Mr. Hodges (make sure there are no FERPA No students in the picture) with a few words about what you are doing and we'll get it posted.
Holiday Decorations - Please make sure that all holiday decorations are taken down and put away before you leave for Winter Break. Please be especially diligent about any food or drink items so that critters don't come visit us over the break.
Classroom Websites - Make sure that your classroom websites are updated before you leave for the break.
Refrigerator - The refrigerator will be cleaned out over the break, so please make sure that you take anything with you that you want to keep. :)
Set-up for presentations/performances - If you are going to need a microphone, projector or speaker for a performance please email Marylou and Bea at least one week prior to the event. This will allow them to schedule that setup time into their day.
Rest - "How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward." - Proverb
You all have worked so hard this year. Please take some time for you and to just rest and relax. To say that you have earned it is an understatement. I will see you on January 4th!
