Florence Update
November 9, 2018
Mission of Florence Elementary
Florence Elementary provides the highest level of academic and social/emotional learning. We are student focused and solution based because our students deserve our best!
HELLO FAMILIES!
Please invite all veterans you know to come join us as second grade performs in honor of our them. We have a small reception following the 9:00 am performance next Monday, November 12th. Parents are invited to our evening performance at 6:30. Of course, veterans are welcome to either. We have an 8:15 am performance for our students as a third option for our veterans if they are unable to attend the 9:00 am. We are grateful for the service of those who have previously served or currently serving our great country!
Reminders:
We are hosting the Penguin Patch Holiday shop for students November 26th - 29th. This is an opportunity for students to shop for others...siblings, parents, grandparents, friends, etc....The gifts are inexpensive, but the thought students put into it is priceless. Some parents have their students begin to 'earn' money to 'spend' on others.
We will also have our Angel Tree beginning the last week of November. This allows us to give to some of our Florence Families as well as a lower socioeconomic sister campus. I am forever grateful for the loving, giving hearts of our Florence families! You truly make a difference in the lives of others!
Hugs!
