Check out the news below to see what's happening in our library, and the world of reading!

We can't believe it's already December and the end of the first semester is fast approaching. We just completed two of our Power of Polite sessions. The students learned how to introduce themselves, basic table manners and how to tie a tie. It was a lot of fun working with the students. Take a look:

Student Council

As the holidays quickly approach, our Student Council is getting busy. The Student Council members have chosen to provide a small holiday bag to our cafeteria/custodial staff and bus drivers. A sign-up genius will be posted on the Student Council canvas page soon with a list of requested donations. Our next Student Council meeting will be Friday, December 4th for both 5th and 6th grades.

The cooler weather provides the perfect time to pack some snacks, grab a sweater and head outside! Even with all the social distancing guidelines, we have so many awesome opportunities to get out and explore locally. Here are a few ideas for you and your family to make the most of the coming months, all while being socially conscious.

Find a Corn Maze!

There are multiple local farms around just waiting for you to come explore! Getting lost in a corn maze is not only good exercise; it is a great way for kids to practice directions, critical thinking, and memory building!

Visit an Outdoor Light Display

Several local area venues including, the Houston Zoo, Nasa & Santa’s Wonderland have beautiful displays that you can safely enjoy!

Get Outside!

Exercise is such a fun way to keep us healthy! Grab a friend and head outdoors to try cooler weather activities like hiking, biking, walking to look at the fall colors, and playing games like soccer and kick ball.

Remember to have your student bring and wear a mask to school each day and keep an extra one in your student's backpack.

Stay safe & Healthy!
