Blue Jay Flyer
December 23, 2023
From the Principal's Desk...
Dear Parents and Guardians,
A huge shout out to our students who had performances this week. The 4th and 5th grade Christmas Concert was a wonderful way to get into the Holiday Spirit leading into our last day of school. Thank you to Mrs. Ossenschmidt for spending so much time working with these students so that they could learn the music and choreography of all the songs. They did a fantastic job. Also, a shout out to our Kindergarten students who were adorable in their Kindergarten Pageant on Wednesday morning. All the students looked so cute in their costumes, and they sounded like little angels singing.
Since this is the last Blue Jay Flyer before Christmas, I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I truly hope that everyone is able to relax and enjoy some family time over the break. I know the holiday season is hectic and stressful for many, so I hope that you are able to take some time for yourself and your family.
Thanks and have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Courtney Weinheimer
