December is here!
It seems a short time, but it will be packed with events and activities. Let's make the most of it!
Vision For Life Bus
Donuts with Doc
Pics with Santa
We will be taking photos on Wednesday, December 4th during the school day.
Students can wear their favorite holiday attire to take a photo with Santa Claus. Check their folder for the form sent the Thursday before the break to let us know if your kid would rather have their pic without Santa. We know some of our little ones can get scared... so, this year they can have a holiday pic by themselves! Please write "No Santa" at the top of the form.
If you would like to donate towards the printing of photos this year, please follow this link!
Volunteers needed!
We need Santa helpers setting up on Tuesday after school, lending a hand throughout the shooting session on Wednesday, and taking down the set after all photos have been taken.
Please visit the SignUp Genius link to let us know you will be available to help!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH
This year we dedicated more than $12,000 to the teacher wishlist. Gathering, organizing and filling all of those requests is a big job for one person. Chrissy has worked many hours behind the scenes, helping provide our classrooms with everything from iPads to bean bag chairs.
Thank you, Chrissy!
