Winter Parties
On Friday, December 16th, our students will be celebrating the holiday season! We will begin our day in the cafeteria with a Holiday Pep Rally from 8:00-8:45. Our Co-Curr teachers and those staff members without a homeroom will lead students in a variety of fun winter songs & games. Classroom teachers will have their 45 minute planning period during this time.
As soon as you return from your planning period, our Snowflake Winners will be announced between 8:45-9:00. The Snowflake winner is the teacher or staff member who earned the most snowflakes from our Snowflakes for the Storehouse contest. That teacher or staff member will wear a Santa suit for the rest of the school day!
Winter parties will then begin at the following times:
- 9:15-10:15 – K-2 parties
- 9:45-10:45 – 3-6 parties
The cafeteria will be making sack lunches that day and students will enjoy their lunch with their classmates & teacher in their classrooms.
And don't forget...we do have early dismissal on December 16th. Dismissal will begin at 11:55 am.
