Penguin Patch
*We are hosting a Penguin Patch holiday shopping experience December 5th through the 9th!
This is a great opportunity for all children will be able to shop for loved ones or themselves! All items are reasonably priced from 25¢ to $12. The children will get to walk through the shop to see items that they would like to purchase. They will each be given an envelope to bring back with their purchase money. These envelopes will also have their wish list and prices on it. More information and envelopes to come closer to the event.
Mrs. Fields Fundraiser
Thank you to our Coyotes families for participating in this year's Mrs. Fields fundraiser! It was a huge success! All goodies will be shipped to our school before the holiday break. Pick-up day and time will be displayed through Dojo and all social media feeds.
Nurse's Corner
Hello and happy December everyone! The kids are coming into the nurse complaining that they are cold. Please have them dress appropriately for the weather. I don’t have enough jackets and sweaters for everyone. If you are getting rid of any gently used pants/leggings, sweaters or jackets size 7/8 or 10/12, I would appreciate any donations.
Holidays to observe in December:
Christmas Break 12/26/22 to 01/08/23, Have a great Christmas Break!
Happy Hanukkah and Happy Kwanzaa!
December monthly Observations: Universal Human Rights, Read a New Book, Made in America, Handwashing Awareness, and Art & Architecture month. These are only a few of the monthly observations; there are too many to name.
Immunizations, thank you to all of the parents and guardians who have been on top of getting them done. I really appreciate it. if you know your child has their 11th birthday coming, Please schedule them for their Tdap/MCV4 vaccines. This is a state requirement. I always send out reminders because I know life gets in the way. I actually just sent out letters for the kids turning 11 in November. Please let me know if you’ve made an appointment.
I still have donations of Water Bottles and Backpacks; if anyone needs one, please see me in my office. I also have Hygiene Kits with toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and some other goodies in the kit.
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Christmas!!!
