Badger Family,
I hope you all enjoyed the Holiday cart on Monday! We love offering all of you special treats. Did you read the poem carefully that you were given during the Holiday cart? I sure hope so! Jeans all week next week for you! We truly appreciate all you do for our students each and every day. Just a friendly reminder that as we approach Friday, some of our students aren't looking forward to 2 weeks at home. Please continue to monitor student behavior and hold all of our precious children accountable. Have an amazing weekend!

Badger Business
- The instructional rounds were another great learning opportunity for all that were involved. Thank you so much to those who participated. The conversations were rich and the learning will impact our campus immensely! We will continue to learn through the instructional round process and if you weren't able to attend, we hope to see you next time.
- The Staff Christmas Party should be a great meal and a fun evening of adult conversations! We are currently working on getting awesome door prizes for those who attend. Every adult receives a ticket for the drawings. Don't forget that if you are able to bring an unwrapped toy or gift card, we will donate to our local Toy Drive at Community Link! Please RSVP to Susan Naizer.
- Please plan to attend the District Holiday Open House if you have some free time during your conference on Wednesday, 12/16. It will take place at Central Office in the Board Room. There will be a lot of goodies to eat and EMS bands and choirs will provide free entertainment. Our band program will be performing at 10:10 and 10:45 if you have 3rd period conference and would like to attend.
- Are you interested in sponsoring and coaching a Destination Imagination team? If you are or would like to learn more about it, please let me know asap.
- On Friday, 12/18, we will follow our early dismissal bell schedule so you will see all of your classes with the exception of 6th period. At our 12:30 dismissal, we will need all hands on desk to help students safely and quietly exit our building. (6th grade – front of school, 7th grade – elective and hall sweep, 8th grade – buses)
- It is my pleasure to announce that Vivian Ayers is coming back on Monday! Please welcome her back when you see her.
