Volunteer Opportunities 🎅⛄🎄
December PTO Activities
Ms. Arty Pants- Dec. 3
Ms. Arty Pants is the Tuesday, December 3rd, that we return from Thanksgiving break and we could use your help! We need help with blow drying the paintings, helping students get paint, student dismissal, etc. It's always a lot of fun, but the more parents and guardians, the better! If you can help, we would greatly appreciate it!
Santa's Workshop- Dec. 11-13
Our students love to shop at our Santa's Workshop! We also need lots of elves to help with wrapping gifts. Even if you can just come for a couple hours, it is still a huge help! Thanks for considering helping us this year!!
No Afterschool on Tuesday, December 3rd due to our Arty Pants Event
Afterschool Workers Needed
If you know anyone interested in joining our wonderful Afterschool team, please have them contact me. We would love to hire 1-2 adults that love children and can work afternoons from 3-6 pm. Thanks for spreading the word!
Christmas Lunch is December 19
The delicious Christmas Lunch will be on Thursday, December 19th! We always look forward to having our families join us for this yummy occasion. First, third, and fifth grade families will be invited to attend. Please look for the Christmas Lunch letter soon!! If you have a child in one of these grades and you plan to attend, once you recieve the letter, you will fill it out and return it to school. This ensures that our wonderful lunch ladies prepare enough food for everyone. The cost of the meal for visitors is $6. We look forward to seeing everyone!

Title One Plan Reminders
Math Nights Rescheduled for February
During October, we had planned a big math night celebration for our families...and then Helene happened. We have postponed our Math night until February. More info. will be sent home after the Christmas holiday!!
Also, here is the link to our Title One Plan for the year. This is where we look at our BES data and focus on improvements we want to make. It is a 2 year plan that can be adjusted at any time. When forming the plan, parents, teachers, assistants, and staff members come together to share insights and create the initial plan. It is then updated throughout the year. We will be updating our goals and look over it very soon. If you have any questions, just let me know!
