'Tis the Season

Temperatures will be starting to drop. We go outside (weather permitting, to 10 degrees below zero) for recess every day. Please, please, please start preparing to send your student(s) to school with appropriate winter outerwear. This means:

• warm coat
• winter hat
• mittens or gloves
• scarves
• snow pants
• boots
• Rain coat
• Rain Boots

It is always a good idea to mark your child’s name on all items. You would be surprised how many pairs of black snow pants we get!

Looking ahead. We are hoping to find a handful of parents who would like to earn school service hours by sponsoring an after school activity next fall. After School Activities (ASA) will start approximately mid-late September and run through the first week of December (12 weeks) and are typically one day a week for an hour of instructional time. Parents who lead an activity will be able to help fulfill their annual school service required of 16 hours.

If you have a special skill, talent, or hobby that you would be willing to share with students please contact the front office.

Some Possible Activities Include:

• Quilting/Sewing

• Digital Photography

• Dance

• Ukulele

• Beading

• Chess club

• Drama

• Cross Country Running*

• And More

*Running club will begin soon after school begins to prepare for the Beach Lake Jamboree in September.
