Lord, help me to do your will.

Not a moment sooner, not a moment later.
Than you will it.

ALL 5th Grade Parents & Choir Parents Save the Dates!
The 6th-8th grade Choir students will participate in a concert on Tuesday, December 14 at 6:30 pm in the XMS auditorium. **Please note the date change** The 6th & 7th-grade Bands will take part in this concert. The concert will be approximately one hour in length.
The 5th grade Christmas concert will take place on Tuesday, December 21 at 6:30 pm in the XMS auditorium. ALL of the 5th-grade students will participate in the concert as part of the choir. On the same night, the 5th-grade students who are also in band or strings will have the opportunity to share the music pieces that they've learned with Mrs. Koenigs (strings) and Mrs. Ninneman (band).
ALL 5th grade and choir students are asked to wear all black clothing for the concert. There's no need for special items. Girls are welcome to wear a solid black dress, skirt, or pants. The boys should wear any black pants, dress pants are not required. I suggest that the children wear their black uniform shirt, but any black clothing would be great. If your child doesn't have black shoes, simply wear the darkest shoes currently in the closet.
Specific reporting times will be shared as the concert date approaches.
- Tues, Dec 14 - 6th-8th grade Choir, 6th & 7th grade Band
- Tues, Dec 21 - ALL 5th grade + 5th Band + 5th & 6th Strings

Outside FLEX Time
As long as it's not raining, students will continue to have FLEX time outside. Please be sure your student wears appropriate outdoor clothing to stay warm during their outside flex time. It is recommended that an extra hat and/or gloves be kept in your child(ren)’s locker. This will help make it easier for students to have warm gear when going outside for flex.

Scrip News
Get a jump start on your Holiday shopping! I’m sure you have all heard the news that this year’s Christmas shopping, both online and in stores, is going to be challenging due to supply shipments being delayed and labor shortages. Please plan ahead and get your orders in early. Even though we do stock several retailors, gas stations, local and national restaurants, there are still several that we do not stock and have to special order, which could take 2-3 days to get in. Also, during high demand season, we see large orders for commonly stocked cards. Reminder that you can also order e-gift cards and reloads via the RaiseRight App.
Scrip office will be closed during the following days:
-
November 25th and 26th
-
December 23rd – December 31st
