Principal's Message
The holiday bazaar was outstanding this year. We were especially happy with all the extra hands helping to set up, drag vendors good in, selling at the concessions, and breaking down the tables after the event. We were so pleased with the team effort.
We try to keep our expectations and procedures the same during the holiday season, but also have a little fun with our students during this time. We have developed some "Dress Up" days to celebrate during the Week before the holiday break (December 17-21)
Here are the days to look forward to:
Monday, December 17: Wear your Red and Green Colors
Tuesday, December 18: Holiday Socks
Wednesday, December 19: Wear a peaceful message on your shirt
Thursday, December 19: Wear a holiday outfit (could be PJs, Sweater, or Dress)
Friday, December 20: SPARKLE DAY

We are hoping our families will log at least 10 hours of support for our school this year.
