Our students are busy practicing for their program on Thursday, December 14th, and we are so excited to share the gift of music with you! 🎶

Parking is always very busy on concert day, please plan accordingly, and at the end of your child(ren)’s concert please exit the building/parking lot as efficiently & safely as possible to allow for the next group to come in. A reminder to please send a cold lunch with your child, unless you let your classroom teacher know (by Monday December 4), to have the kitchen provide a cold lunch.

We are also doing our food drive for the Durand Food Pantry, so if you would like to bring a non-perishable item we will have carts set up in the commons for your donations.

Thank you!!

We started Random Acts of Kindness to light up our school. Students and staff can fill out a light bulb if they see someone doing something kind. We are only a week in and the school is already so bright!

Students are invited to disguise a gingerbread man as a book character for display in the library. We're excited to see all of the creative disguises this year!

🌞🌞🌞 Fifth grade is studying about the power of the sun in ELA and Science. They made and enjoyed some sun tea last week! 🌞🌞🌞

5th graders made rockets in Science, they worked hard to be top in each class!

🚀Cabe Casey was first overall for his straw rocket and pop bottle rocket.

The pop bottle winners by classroom were:

🚀 Mrs. Brusoe - Tripp Risler and Etta Ullwelling

🚀 Miss Schumaker - Jonah Larson and Ferdinand Ramos

🚀 Mr. Hansen - Preslee Kolve and Adelyn Glaus.

🥇🎉 CONGRATULATIONS!

Our lost and found table is really starting to grow! Do you recognize any of these items? Please call the office, and we can send them home with your child.

Also, please feel free to stop in after dismissal to take a look yourself.

Unclaimed items are donated to St. Vincent de Paul at the end of each month.

• The Health Room is asking for donations of boys size 4 socks, boys pants of all sizes, and girls pants (no jeans) size M and L.

• The office is in need of warm mittens/gloves for students to use when they have forgotten theirs.

Thank you!!

On the first Monday of every month (Monday, Dec. 4), we welcome and encourage you to have your child wear a T-shirt with a positive message.

Here are just a couple examples of positive messages: “Choose Kind,” “Be the Nice Kid,” “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” Any phrase or picture on a shirt that sends a positive thought and puts a smile on

someone’s face is welcomed!

This is completely optional of course, but we hope you consider having your child participate on the first Monday of every month!

Thank you for being such a positive part of our school community!
