Principal e-Note

The Penguin Patch has arrived in the Kennerly Library this week! Our students are thrilled, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who help organize and run this event. There is still time to volunteer! Please see click the link. Penguin Patch Holiday Volunteer Sign Up

Just a reminder...

We go outside for two recesses every day as long as the temperature and windchill are 20°F or above. Please ensure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for the weather with coats, hats, and gloves.

It’s also very helpful to write your child’s name on their winter gear to make it easier to return items that may end up in the lost and found. Thank you for helping us keep students warm and prepared for outdoor play!

Celebrate Holidays Around the World with Us!

Join us on Saturday, December 14th, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM for a festive and fun-filled event! We’ll be showcasing holidays such as Ramadan/Eid/Bajram, Chinese New Year/Lunar New Year, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Día de los Muertos, Christmas, and Diwali.

Enjoy delicious treats from food trucks, get a beautiful design from henna artists, and watch incredible performances by cultural performers. Plus, don’t miss the chance to take photos with Santa if you choose!

We’d love your participation. Together, we can create a meaningful and joyful celebration of our community’s diverse traditions.
