We’re getting closer and closer to our Penguin Patch Holiday Shop, which is Dec. 9-13! Now is the perfect time to send your Mustang with a little cash so they can buy special gifts to surprise your family members and friends. Students will be able to shop during school for gifts that cost as little as $0.25 and up to $12. There is something for everyone this year at the shop!

Parents will be admitted into rooms 10 minutes before the party time below to start set up, and will be asked to leave at the end of each party. We kindly ask for NO siblings to come to parties from other classrooms or home. As a reminder, a background check must be on file for anyone helping at the parties.

11:10-11:50 - Third

11:35-12:15 - Fourth

12:20-1:00 - Second and Fifth

12:40-1:20 - Kindergarten

1:00-1:40 - First

**As a reminder, we are NOT having Valentine’s parties this year, and instead having spring parties the day before spring break (March 28th).

Noblesville Schools winter weather information here.

The third grade students are working on persuasive letters for the Humane Society of Hamilton County. Students are given dogs/cats that are up for adoption, and they do research on the benefits of having a pet. With all of the information that they find, they are writing persuasive letters for the humane society to use and hang on the cages in hopes that these animals will get adopted.

They will also be participating in Pennies for Pets by running a coin war. The jars will be for dogs/cats/other animals. Students can put their money in the jar(s) of their choice. We will start this next Monday, December 9th, and it will run until December 20th. See the flyers below:

Yay, science! If you are interested, please use the attached contract to sign-up.
