PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Welcome back! We hope everyone had a safe and healthy break and came back ready to work!
The arctic blast that we experienced over winter break seems to be sticking around for a bit. We do go out if the temperature goes above 0 so please send outdoor clothing each day. Send kids to school in outdoor gear in case we go out before school too. Staying inside for too long makes our minds and bodies go stir crazy. We get out any time we can!
Mrs. Michalski

Classroom Chatter - PAWS Celebration
POLAR EXPRESS-5K
Chitter Chatter rang through the halls just before Christmas break as the majority of the students from Abrams Elementary School saw a new person walking through the halls to their official post. A "conductor" of sorts in formal black attire and a black top hat. Students from Mrs. Nieminski and Ms. Pulvermacher's 5K class took a ride on the Polar Express after they gave their ticket to "conductoress" Michalski! Happy faces shined brightly as the students entered the Polar Express for the ride of their lives! Thank you Conductress Michalski for your participation in this exciting event!

What's Happening With the CPTO....
Scrip Cards for Sale at Abrams Elementary! Scrip cards are gift cards you can use to pay at checkout for groceries, gas, retail stores and restaurants without the risk of fraud. You can use the scrip cards to shop in-store or online with participating retailers. You purchase gift cards at face value and use them for your purchases. If you find yourself patronizing certain stores, please consider buying scrip. Every other week the CPTO sends home an order form for you to order your cards, or you can stop in the school office and purchase cards that we have on-hand.
These cards make great Christmas gifts, birthday presents, or a great budgeting tool. Also, Kohl’s scrip cards may be applied to Kohl’s charge bill at the service counter or any checkout. Any questions contact Crystal Berg at cberg1081@gmail.com .
