What an incredible month we have already had together! I hope you have been able to join us for some of the many happenings.
Holly Jolly Trolley was a blast last Monday and was quickly followed by student demonstration night
on Tuesday. Our Board members missed out on the fun since they were inside working away at planning for our school - thank you Board members! Many thanks to Stephanie Massey, Debbie Saunders and our Board of Trustees for all the hard work
Monday night. Thank you to our teachers and students for a packed house full of learning for student demonstration night- I ALWAYS learn something new!
The rest of the week was an exciting build of anticipation for the Makers Fest. Jacquelyn Zeichner, Kate Gardiner, Stephanie Massey, Becky Chapman, Brooke Daniello, The Nissan Family for the awesome stage, The Taylor Family for the fabulous bar, The Rowell Family for their generous donation, the Silent Auction Committee and the numerous volunteers who worked incredibly hard to bring our community a successful and enjoyable event. Fun was had by all and the smiles just kept coming. Thank you Jacquelyn, Kate and the many volunteers for bringing this, as well as the funds raised, to our school.
This week we have been holding parent teacher conferences. Semester reports will be sent home
Friday if you did not have a conference prior.
Next Tuesday at
6pm we will be holding our annual Pot Luck before our break. Some students will be presenting or preforming music, we'll also enjoy a sing a long with many familiar seasonal favorites. We ask that you bring chairs or a picnic blanket for your family to sit on. We do have some sitting space, but it is limited. We could use folding tables to place food on for the evening. We ask that you be mindful to bring a nut-free dish to share. We do have students with nut allergies. If you have a folding table please drop off on the back porch some time before the potluck, don't forget to place your name on the table so it may be returned. Also, If you have a microphone and amplifier we could borrow for the evening, that would be very helpful!
If your student plays the violin and would like to participate in performing a song or two at the Potluck gathering with other students, please send their instrument in on Monday and Tuesday for practice.
Wednesday the 21st is early release at
noon to begin our break.
January is quickly upon us, we will have tax receipts for our donors. It's not too late to still contribute for this year!
Art on the Go art club will begin in the New Year. We are excited to welcome back Miss Jaime to our school. More details to come!
We will also be sending out volunteer hour logs before we return from break. Just a reminder that each family is required to volunteer 20 hours per school year. Volunteer hours may be logged for chaperoning field trips, helping in the office, serving on the Board of Trustees, MakersFest and other special events etc. Volunteer hours may not be logged for attending conferences, observing in the classroom or having lunch with your child.
As always, thank you for your continued support.
