Week of December 22nd

Dear Parent/s,

The kids certainly have the Christmas spirit and are ready for Santa to come! We had a great time on Friday at our Polar Express Day. You can check out some pictures of us making pizzelles below! Thanks to all who donated the needed supplies. The only thing we have going on this week is our field trip tomorrow. It is a dress down day (please send in $1) and I ask that you send in a small snack for the kids to bring to the bowling alley. You do not need to send a lunch because we will have pizza with our 8th grade buddies when we return.

Lastly, I want to wish all of you and your families a very Merry Christmas and I hope God blesses you all with good health and happiness in the New Year. I am truly blessed to be working at SKS and I am grateful for all the help and support I receive from you all on a daily basis.

Enjoy the long break and Merry Christmas!

Week of December 15th

Dear Parent/s,

Happy last full week before Christmas break! This week we will not begin a new story or have any tests. We will be doing lots of fun Christmas activities and end our week with our "Polar Express" party on Friday! Here are a few quick reminders:

- The kids such a wonderful job at last week's Christmas Concert! Check out the video above!

- Permission forms for the bowling trip were sent home today. Please have them in to me by Friday at the latest. Thank you to the chaperones who volunteered!

- Last week I gave the kids a letter to write to Santa. Please complete it and send it in tomorrow.

- The 5th-8th grade will be putting on the Christmas Tableau Wednesday night at 7:00pm. They do a fantastic job and all are welcome to join!

- We will be having a Service Day next Monday, December 22nd. We are asking that every child in the first grade donates a jar of spaghetti sauce so we can make casseroles and give them to Mercy Hospice. You may send it in any day this week. Thanks for your help :)

I think that it all! Now go get your last minute shopping done!
