Monthly Mudbug Memo
Sorrento Primary School Newsletter: December 2022
Message from the Principal's Office
We’re here…holiday season! 2022 has no doubt been an exciting year, and we have more plans for some added fun this December. We want these next few weeks to end the calendar year be a fun a fun and memorable time to come to school! We have posted a special December to Remember activity calendar for students (see below and in Class Dojo), and your child’s teacher will soon be sending information regarding our Christmas Program performance (Yep...it's coming back!), Holiday Learning Activity Day, and Class Holiday Party very soon.
We are almost to the halfway mark of the school year. Hard to believe, I know! If you haven’t already, now would be a great time to ask your child about his/her learning goals for the year and use that information for encouragement in working hard each and every day. Our 3rd - 5th grade students have learning goals based on the LEAP Test, and our lower grade students have goals based on Reading skills and Math benchmark assessments. Our hope is that all students are successful in meeting their individual goals and reach their full potential.
We hope that all of our Mudbug families have a wonderful and joyous holiday season full of fun, laughter, and love!
Mrs. Honey Lundin
Assistant Principal
Ms. Shawn Boudreaux
