December Newsletter

My name is Emily Tobias and I am the new 5th grade teacher at Corinth Middle School! This is my first year teaching and I am so excited to be a part of such a welcoming and generous community here at Corinth. I graduated from Quinnipiac University in May with my Masters in Teaching. I love spending time with family, visiting the Saratoga Race Track over the summer, and traveling with my friends. It has been a wonderful year and I look forward to the rest of the year in 5th grade!

Starting on December 18th, the CARE Committee is sponsor our annual Holiday Spirit Week. Each day, staff and students are encouraged to wear something specific. Please check out the following days:

Monday, December 18th - Holiday Colors

Tuesday, December 19th - Wear Flannel Day

Wednesday, December 20th - Dress Up Like Your Favorite Holiday Character

Thursday, December 21st - Holiday "Ugly" or Festive Sweater

• WATER BOTTLES: Students should bring a refillable water bottle to school with them each day
• CHROMEBOOKS: Chromebooks should be charged at home each night so they are ready for the next day

Grades 5 and 6 will continue to be outside during the winter months for recess. Please be sure that your child has a coat, hat, and gloves with them daily. We typically go outside in all weather conditions, unless the temperature/wind chill forces the students to stay indoors.
