Comet Connection
KELLOGG FAMILY NEWS | December 6, 2021
THREE SCOOPS!
SCOOP ONE
Can you believe we are nearly to the middle of Q2?!? This Friday marks the half-way point. You should see progress reports in your inbox from each of your child's teachers by Friday.
SCOOP TWO
THANK YOU to our generous gift card donators! School-wide BINGO was a hit last Friday and kids were so excited with the gift card you selected! Check our a few of the many smiles below (you will have to imagine the smile through the eyes!)
SCOOP THREE
Our doors do not open until 8:05 each day, regardless of weather. The reason for this is that we do not have staffing to supervise students prior to that time. Kids also go outside at recess nearly every day! Please remind your Comet to bundle up!
