Cedar Grove Friday Flash

Thank you to the PTA for organizing and to all the parents who contributed to the amazing staff holiday treat buffet. Staff members enjoyed sampling the wonderful goodies throughout the day, and we are so appreciative of your kindness!

Today, students enjoyed listening to music from the Damascus High School Marching Band. In addition, the school day finished with our annual Winter Sing Along led by Mrs. Arellano, our music and chorus teacher. Some of the pictures from the day are posted below.

Students continue to do a wonderful job composting each day. During the month of November, students were able to divert 750 pounds of food waste from landfills and incinerators. We are so proud of their efforts!

Our Readathon will begin on January 14 and end on January 28. Please view the information below for additional details.

Due to the upcoming winter break, this is the last Friday Flash for 2024. The next newsletter will be sent to you on January 10, 2025. We hope you a safe and enjoyable holiday season, and we wish you and your family a very happy new year. We will see your children when they return to school on January 2, 2025.

Here's a sneak peek into our January Media Monthly — we'll have a short week when we return from Winter Break and then a full week thereafter. But we're starting the new year with a lot of events as soon as we return from Winter break! All book club permission slips are due today. Our first meeting will be on January 21. At this point, I only have four students signed up for the music cafe. This event is always such a crowd pleaser for our students. Please Sign up for the 2025 music cafe! Our first meeting will be on Monday, January 13. Our Readathon will begin on January 14. This is a huge event for our school that the PTA and I plan together, and it is a lot of fun! Read Aloud Night is part of this event, so save the date: January 23, 2025! Have a wonderful winter break, encourage your students to curl up and read a good book and also to play outside!

Please click the link below for the December overview of what your students will be doing in Art, General Music, Instrumental Music, and Physical Education. We hope you will take a few moments to read what is happening during these instructional spaces.
