Aviator Updates
SY23 CWFDES FAMILY ISSUE #15
B WEEK: December 5 - 9
Hello Aviator Families!
This week kicks off Spirit Week, starting tomorrow with holiday hats, headbands, socks, jewelry, etc. On Friday, our PTA is hosting the "Santa Fly-In" event from 4-6 in our cafeteria. There will be ornament decorating, hot cocoa, story time, photos with Santa and more! Your student will also have the opportunity to decorate a star on our Walk of Fame for $10 during the event as well.
I look forward to getting into the holiday spirit with our students and staff!
Warm Regards,
Katie Kortokrax
