December 2023
Message from our Principal
Hello Panther families,
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! I wanted to let you know that our students have been enjoying fantastic productions through our SIPs program. We held chess day before the holiday weekend for 3rd-5th grade, and the students learned how to play the game of chess. Mr. Wolf will return in December once again to help students refine their game. Thank you to our PTC for funding this activity! Additionally, our dedicated PTC has been busy planning events, including the Dollar Store for Holidays, Prairie Rose movie night, and the raffle fundraiser. Watch for information on these fun events.
As the weather gets colder, please remember to check that your child has all the winter gear they need to stay warm and comfortable at school.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
Warm regards,
Dr. Tabby Rabenberg

Please be sure your child wears the appropriate clothing to school each day. If you need assistance with this, please call the office at 323-4280.
