Greetings Timberwolf Families,
December is upon us! Time is flying by. We hope you were able to enjoy the Thanksgiving Break and had some quality time with your family and friends. A big thank you to everyone who attended our student-led conferences last month. We hope you valued the experience as much as we did and appreciate the families that followed the QR code and gave conference feedback. There was a conference contest against Wolf Den classrooms. Classes with the highest participation in conferences were awarded a cookie party. Those winners were:
6th Grade: Mrs. McCullough
7th Grade: Mrs. McLaughlin
8th Grade: Mr. Erickson
Congratulations on your victory!
Winter break is just around the corner so encourage your students to concentrate on their schoolwork and finish out 2023 strong. We do have some fun activities planned for the next few weeks. See the future events and dates below.
