Our annual Hot Chocolate Challenge is back! Each year in Jan/Feb we challenge each classroom to work as a team and earn 10 GOLD SLIPS by following Anderson's Best Expectations in the hallways, lunchroom, playground, and special classes... When each class earns 10 Gold Slips, they are treated to a warm cup of Hot Chocolate at recess. We add some fun music and, of course, a few marshmallows. Ask your child how many Gold Slips their class has earned so far.

The lottery sign up is from January 21st thru Feb 7th. Names will be drawn on February 10th and selected families will be notified on February 11th . Those who are not selected will be placed on a waitlist and will be notified if space becomes available..
