Our 1st and 2nd grade students will be performing their musical on the evening of December 15th at 6:30 in the large gym at Evergreen. To support our 1st and 2nd graders, we will have pajama day on Thursday!

The winter weather is upon us! We will have indoor lineup due to temperatures and inclement weather throughout the year. When we have indoor lineup, please have your child enter the nearest door when they arrive, even if it is not their "normal" entry door. We want the students to enter into the building as quickly as they can when it is cold, snowing, or raining, so please have your child enter at any open door! We have staff in the hallways supervising and assisting students with where to go if they get a bit turned around!

There have been many of you asking about how to deliver birthday invitations at school. Your child can deliver birthday invitations at school if they are for everyone in the class or for every gender in the class (all the boys or all the girls). If you are only inviting select members of the class, please refer to the PTA Member Hub. You may be able to find contact information for students if they are registered through the Hub.

Last day for spirit wear orders are TODAY if you would like it to be delivered to Evergreen on December 9th.

We are looking for parent volunteers to come in and provide Junior Achievement lessons to the students in Kindergarten-4th grade. Junior Achievement is a wonderful program that is dedicated to educating students about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy through hands-on and engaging lessons. The lessons are well planned and easy to implement. If you are interested in volunteering for this program or have any questions about it, please contact the PTA coordinator, Shea Wanshek.

As the winter weather is rolling in, please remember to have your child dress appropriately for the weather. Students will go outside for recess and line up if it is a "real feel" of 15 degrees or higher. Please make sure that your child is wearing snow pants and boots when it is snowing or when there is snow on the ground. If your child does not bring snow pants and boots, then they will only be playing on the blacktop at recess time. Sometimes it is wet outside, so sending a pair of pants and socks to keep at school is a great idea. We do not have a lot of extra clothes in the office for a child to change into if they happen to get wet while playing outside.
