Book Fair Update
Thank you to all of the shoppers. Book Fair sales totaled $13,117.99. Students donated $953.00 through the All for Books program (see photo). A special thank you goes to the volunteers who helped make the book fair run so smoothly. Finally, a super shout-out to the co-chairs, Jessica Harsha, Julie Earlewine, and Jennifer Watkins, who went above and beyond so the students could have a wonderful fair experience.
Notes from the Music room
The 4th grade is busy working on their musical, "Bring On the Snow!" to be performed on Dec. 16th at 7:00. All students are in the musical! Class costume requests have been sent home with your children or by email from their class room teachers.
Rehearsal schedules have also been sent-please remember to send a note to school each day that your child has an after-school practice. If your child does not have a speaking/solo part, he/she will not be asked to stay after school.
Please work on the costumes and help your children learn their speaking parts for the musical. We are very excited to perform for you!
The 3rd and 4th grade CHOIR will also perform that night.
