• RSVP for Holiday Celebrations on December 20th

December is in full swing, and we're excited to have some holiday dress-up fun! Each day is a different theme with the OPTION to dress up! The committee tried to create themes that were easy to "find items around the house!" for students and staff to utilize in our days!

I wanted to share some personal fun...I had my right knee replaced on December 6th! There's lots of good...I'll have two knees made of steel that a robot and a VERY skilled surgeon made happen. Consequently, I will be out the next two weeks. My family and I would appreciate good thoughts for a speedy and easy recovery. I want to be back as quickly as possible.

While I'm out, Ms Fields and Ms. Isaac will continue to support the campus along with our amazing staff! I coudn't have done this surgery without the systems and people we have supporting your children! I feel incredibly lucky! In addition, Sharon Hejl will be helping out a few days a week. Ms. Hejl is a retired principal, and she has always helped in times of transition or absence! She's great with kids and people!

We will celebrate the "Winter Break" on December 20th with grade level parties. Room parents will be reaching out to ask for donations to make a holiday craft. Each grade level has chosen a craft so families can mark this as their child's 1st grade winter craft to remember this time! Children will be have a small snack, something to drink, and make a craft. Family members are welcome to join in the fun! We are asking that you RSVP to help with sign-in! Families are able to take their children following the celebration, but each family MUST change their child's dismissal to "leaving early, not return" in school dismissal manager!

Remember, Hisle Hounds howl loud and proud!
