December surely kicked off with fun and excitement! Thank you to all who were able to participate in our Marco's Pizza Night!!
Next week will kick off our PTO Holiday Online Auction!!! Yes, highest bidders (3 lucky students) will have the opportunity to be Principal for the Day on January 17!! Watch for the opening of this event on Monday, Dec. 9!!! There will be quite a few wonderful treats for bidding upon.
Please add to your calendar our Winter Sing-a-Long on Thursday, December 12! This wonderful holiday event begins at 6:30 p.m. in our cafeteria. This performance will definitely put you into the holiday spirit!!
Also, do note that on Friday, Dec. 20, this is an early dismissal day at 11:40 a.m. All students will need to be picked up by 11:40. Daycares and buses will be operating and getting students at this time. Do note that we will not have MES Aftercare services until the regular dismissal time as staff will be working on the end of 1st semester grades and records. Wow! Can't believe that half of the year has gone by!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!! Read, read, read with our children!
Yours truly,
Jan Fickling
