Seasons Greetings Frog Pond Families,
The Holiday season is upon us, and our Frog Pond student council is holding 2 separate collections for December. A donation drive to send supplies to our troops overseas, as well as a collection for our local animal shelter. We will also be collecting warm winter gloves, scarves and hats to donate to local families.
We look forward to seeing our Living Museum performed by students during parent/teacher conferences, the chorus concert and the very popular PTO events: Cookies & Milk with Santa and the PTO Holiday Shop.
Fall parent/teacher conferences will be held on December 8th (Evening), 9th (Evening), and the 10th (Afternoon). This is a wonderful opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher to discuss their academic progress, ask questions or address concerns. I encourage every parent to attend if possible.
During this holiday season, my wish for each of you is that you enjoy the people in your lives, enjoy the holidays, and have a Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Thomas P. Denning
Principal
