PRINCIPAL'S NOTES AND HIGHLIGHTS
A few things on my mind as we head into the break.
Second grade has been working on holiday celebrations from around the world. Students were asked to submit any holiday traditions as part of the project. River put together this wonderful video of their family traditions and Joni said it was fine to share. I'm always impressed with the level of work our students do.
6th grade students said goodbye to Mrs. Heather Pickup today who has filled in for Laura Burbrink this semester. They put together this video and played it at Town Hall Meeting this morning. There weren't too many dry eyes in the crowd. She will definitely be missed.
If you missed the 3rd Grade Musical/6th grade choir last night, you missed a great event. I was very impressed with the performance. They performed in front of a packed house!
The 5th grade Holiday Shop was a success. I did, Principal's Pals (my take on "Shop with a Cop"), and took a few students shopping so they had something to bring home. That experience will be better than any gift I get on Christmas Day.
Thank you to all who brought in gifts for your teachers and the office staff. I think I'll be able to visit Starbucks on a daily basis for the month of January and not pay a dime! We truly appreciate you and hope you have a wonderful Christmas break!
We will see everyone on Tuesday, January 5th

Project Updates
Our Kindergarten classes finished the year off by giving back to the residents at Booth Manor Apartments this week. They sang Christmas songs and gave the residents their homemade fleece blankets.
First grade Husky Gram project managers gave away the 2nd quarter prize, which included: Passes to Kidscommons, Hamilton Skate Rink, Yes Cinema, and Simply Pottery. Also a GIANT stuffed husky, a CSA Lincoln blanket and a RCA Tablet.
Second graders finished up learning about holiday celebrations around the world. A guest speaker came in and shared about celebrations and festivals in Ghana. The students finished the project by sharing with the class about their family holiday traditions.
Third graders finished the year of with fun and celebrations.
Fourth grade project managers of the Love Chapel project and a few other select students made a trip to drop off all the donations to Love Chapel. The students took a tour, help sort their items by types and learned just how important it is for them to give back to our community.
Fifth grade finished up the year with their big holiday shop.
