December Parent Newsletter
Dear CSE Parents/Guardians:
It's so hard to believe that it's about to be December! I love this time of year because while we have so many fun things going on, our students are learning and growing so much! The bell is ringing all the time because so many students are meeting and exceeding their goals!
Thank you CSE PTP for all of the giveaways for our staff members last week! We appreciate you giving back to our teachers and support staff! You made their day :)!
I'm so thankful for all of those who donated even a quarter to our Lindale Christmas Helpers. It's such a great cause and we raised $3,964 during our Feathers for Friends event! Wow! The winning class was in 2nd Grade, Mrs. Hollingsworth's class. Our students are learning how to give and bless others. I think there will be several CSE staff members getting a pie in their face this week....pics to come! Thanks again for giving!
Reading logs are coming home tomorrow! Each line is equivalent to 15/20 mins. of reading depending on the grade level. As soon as you fill up a log, send it back and start filling up another log. We have a goal to bring in 1,200 reading logs before December 17th! I know we can do it :)!
If there is anything you need, please let me know! Thanks for sharing your child with us! We look forward to a great second half of this 3rd six weeks!
