Snow Day, Holiday Program, and More!

Students did a wonderful job at the Holiday Program on Tuesday.  I was very proud to see how all of their hard work paid off!  

Reminders:

Math ReTest:  Our Unit 3 math retest for those who got a 1 or 2 in any of our standards will be on Tuesday.  We are taking time at school to reteach those concepts in small groups, but any studying at home would also be helpful.

Gingerbread House Time:  Will take place on Wednesday, December 21st at 10:00am.  Volunteers are welcome!

Classroom Holiday Party: Will be immediately following gingerbread house time around 10:45 - 11:40.  

Girls' Intramural Basketball:  Morning intramural basketball will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting in January.   Forms went home yesterday.  They are due on Monday.
