Sycamore Canyon Family Newsletter

Mark your calendars! Winter Break runs from December 21st-January 5th. School resumes on Monday, January 6th.

Thank you for your generous donations during the last month for the Santee Santas Food Drive. We greatly appreciate your support!

Our Final Donation Amount - $382

Just a reminder to check the lost and found. We have a number of sweatshirts, jackets, sweaters, water bottles, and more piling up. We will donate everything that is there during Winter Break, so please check the Lost and Found before your items may be donated. Thank you!

One of the silent auction items at the Fall Carnival was to select a dress-up day. Vicky in 4th grade won the auction item and has selected that students may dress up as their favorite book or movie character on Wednesday, December 18th. We can't wait to see your costumes!
