Lil Steamer Families --
As we head into winter break, I wanted to thank our families that volunteered to help provide support for other families this holiday season. Additionally, thank you to the Fulton Fire Department Sparkettes in providing support to help meet family clothing needs this winter as well.
We also had quite a buzz among our students this week with the PTO Penguin Patch as they bought gifts for their family and friends. A big shoutout to the PTO and volunteers for creating this amazing opportunity for our Lil Steamers.
Lastly, we would greatly appreciate families putting student names on ALL of their clothing (coats, hats, gloves, etc.). Our lost & found bins are overflowing; if you are missing any items you are welcome to scour the lost belongings for them.
Have a wonderful holiday season and very happy new year!
