Principal's Message December 2, 2016
|
|
Next week our PTO will have a Holiday Store open for students to purchase a wide selection of gifts for family and friends. All items are priced between $1 -$14. The store will be located in front of our library and will be open before school and during lunch every day during the week of December 5th. Thank you to PTO for making this available to our students!
This year FHUSD (grades 3-8) will be participating in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. On December 9, all Four Peaks and Middle School students will have the opportunity to take a 25-word spelling test in their English class. The top 25 scoring students will then be invited to participate in the Four Peaks or Middle School Spelling Bee, which will take place in January on a date to be determined. A letter with additional information, including a grade-level study word list, was sent home with all students today. Be sure to ask your child for the papers. We are looking forward to this challenging and exciting opportunity for your child.
