December Holiday Update

We are excited to announce that the Calder School is providing every student in preschool through sixth grade with a Wolverine T-shirt! This is our way of fostering school pride and unity while celebrating the incredible students who make our school such a wonderful place.

To facilitate this, we are sending home spirit pack order forms with your child. The school will cover the cost of one short-sleeved t-shirt for each student, but we need your help in ensuring that the correct size is ordered. To receive the free t-shirt, please complete and return the order form by Thursday, December 19. A completed form is required for your student to receive his/her t-shirt.

If your family would like to purchase additional items from the spirit pack, you are welcome to indicate these on the order form as well. Please include payment for any additional items along with the completed form. Follow payment instructions carefully and make sure to include tax.

We hope these spirit T-shirts bring joy and a sense of community to our students. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and for returning the forms by the deadline.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the District Office.

We are proud to announce that Kinsley Sindt has been awarded Citizen of the Month for demonstrating outstanding self-discipline!

Self-discipline means having the ability to control your thoughts, actions, and emotions in a way that helps you achieve your goals and make positive choices. It’s about staying focused, managing time wisely, and pushing through challenges even when things get tough.

Kinsley has shown incredible self-discipline by staying dedicated to her studies, treating others with respect, and setting a great example for her peers.

Thank you, Kinsley, for inspiring us all to stay focused and determined. Keep up the amazing work! 👏✨
