Principal's Message

Dear Parents,

It was great to see all of you on Friday night at the Christmas Concert.  I hope that you walked away with the joy and peace that the Christmas season is meant to bring.  Your children are very talented and under the direction of Miss Anderson, they demonstrate their love for performing.  I would like to take the opportunity to thank Miss Anderson for sharing her talent with our students. Ensuring that the theme of the concert is about the birth of the Christ Child is very important and Miss Anderson always finds unique songs to support this theme.

Moving from one musical experience to another, Miss Anderson will be holding auditions for students in grades 2 - 8 for Alice in Wonderland, Jr.  Auditions will be both Tuesday and Wednesday this week from 2:00PM - 3:30PM.  If your child wants to try out they must be available on one of these days.  Students may sign up for an audition spot on Monday. 

Tuesday is DRESS DOWN DAY for $1.00.  The money collected will support families in need throughout the holiday season. Students who paid for dress down last week, do not need to pay again.

This coming week is a short one for us.  Friday is an early dismissal at 11:30AM.  ALL students must be picked up or go home on the bus.  The Extended Day Program is closed.  Please make arrangements for your children for dismissal. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

On Friday, the students and teachers will celebrate their last day together with the traditional pancake breakfast.  If your child has an allergy, they need to bring a breakfast item from home for their own safety.  The breakfast consists of OJ, pancakes and sausages.  Many parents come in early to cook for all of us and their time and effort is much appreciated.

Pancake breakfast attire is pajamas and sneakers, no slippers. Students and teachers come to school dressed in pajamas and leave in pajamas.  Christmas hats and antlers are allowed to be worn if a student wishes to do so.

May you and your families be blessed with peace, love and joy this Christmas.  May you travel safely and until we meet again on January 3rd, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
