🧣Lost & Found🧤
Are you missing a mitten? Have a lost jacket? Make sure to check the LOST & FOUND! It is overflowing with coats, hats, gloves, and even pants! Hopefully you will be reunited with a long lost item!
***Over Winter Break we will donate any items that are not claimed.***
Please check the lost & found before we leave for break on December 19th.

- Basketball tryouts will be on Thursday, December 14th and Friday, December 15th. Girls will be from 3:00-4:15 and boys will be from 4:15-5:30.* Parents, please ensure that your child is there for both days of tryouts! We ask that you do not stay for the actual tryout (we don’t want to make the athletes more nervous), but please plan on dropping them off and picking them up at their designated time.
Social and Emotional Learning: Inclusiveness
This week the goal is to genuinely compliment others. To promote a focus of inclusiveness in the home, we will be creating our own compliment box, filling it up daily with AT LEAST one compliment per person.
Read the Newsletter below for how you can support learning about inclusiveness at home.
