Principal's Message
We hope you all had a lovely break in November with your families, however you spent your time.
Hopefully, you got to enjoy some time with your children, even if you had to work! As we enter the month of December, we still have lots of learning going on at SHPS! Added in are some sprinkles of fun - our Family Sing Along, Pajama Day, and Stuart Little Movie showing!
Thanks to all of you for donating to our Giving Tree. I am in awe of the generosity in our community. Thank you for all that you do to support our students and families.

SHPS Giving Tree - We have added a few more spots!
Help make a family's holiday season a little more cheerful by sponsoring a St. Helena Primary School Family. Teachers have nominated students and families have been interviewed to make sure that we have gifts for every child in the family. In addition, you can also donate Safeway Gift Cards for parents to purchase food.
Once you have signed up, your shopping begins! We ask that you bring your wrapped gifts to the St. Helena Primary School Office between Monday, December 11 - Thursday, December 14th. Our Office is open from 7:30am-4:30pm.
Sign-up Link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508044EA9AE22AAFD0-46199873-donations
Please make sure to label your wrapped gift with the ID number so that we can ensure it is given to the correct student.
We are so grateful for all of your support!

One School, One Book!
During the week of December 4th, we will be reading Chapters 13 and 14 of our book, Stuart Little.
Mr. Comelo, the City Manager of St. Helena, read Chapters 9 and 10. Mr. Machado, the SHUSD's Director of Technology and Information, read Chapter 11 to students. Here is a video if you would like to watch them, but it is always best to read to your child yourself!

Ms. Niki from the front office read Chapter 12!
Stuart Little Night #2
We had such a great turnout at our Stuart Little Night on Zoom last week! We had a request to plan another one! Please join us on Zoom on Wednesday, 12.13, 6:30pm.
