IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 8

We are visiting the Elf Shoppe on Monday, December 12 at 12:45 pm. Parents are welcome to shop with their children.

Students are encouraged to donate $1 (or more if you'd like) for a student in K2 who is undergoing Leukemia treatments. Money will be collected next week (Dec. 12 - 16). If our school raises $500, we can celebrate with a pajama day for kids on Dec. 23rd.

This week we are writing persuasive letters in writing. We are talking about what makes a good reason, and writing letters to Dr. O'Hearn-Curran asking if we can have a Grinch Day in the next two weeks!

Our Chrome Books arrived! The students have started using them. Tomorrow we will be doing Book Buddies with Mrs. Barnaby's class, who will show us how to log in and the things we can do with them! I will set up another Donors Choose in a few months to try and raise money for three months!

Holiday Elf Shoppe
