Happy Friday! We want to remind you that there will be no school next week in observance of Thanksgiving Break. We hope you take this time to relax and enjoy family and friends.
Classes will resume on Monday, December 2, 2024.
From all of us at Kramer, we wish you and your family a great Thanksgiving!
*Friendly Drop-Off Reminder*
To ensure the safety of all our students, please remember to use the designated vehicle drop-off line at the back of the building each morning. Officer Sikora has kindly spoken with a few parents who have been dropping students off at the front, but this area is reserved for families who park and walk their children in, as well as our bus riders. We have staff members ready and available at the back to assist your children safely into school. Thank you for your cooperation!
Hello Kramer!
If you would like to help Kramer families in need of holiday gift help, please consider purchasing an item off of our Amazon wishlist. These are gift items requested by guardians for their children. These items will be sent to Kramer and our school social worker, Chelsea Pike, will coordinate getting each family their gifts. This list will be left up until December 6th. Any contribution is extremely appreciated! If you have any questions (or are in need of holiday help) please contact Chelsea Pike at pikec@talawanda.org. We are also requesting gifts be unwrapped, but would like to give guardians wrapping paper/tape, so we are accepting those donations, as well.

RAH
Attention families of Kindergarteners, 1st, and 2nd Graders:
Don't Forget to turn in your RAH (Reading At Home) Sheets EVERY WEDNESDAY!
RAH is a voluntary program designed to encourage students to read by rewarding their reading achievements at home. Books can be read by, to, or with your student.
Fill the record sheet by reading books (remember they can read independently, with you, or even just listen to you read to them.) Color in a book on their RAH record sheet for each book or 10 pages of a chapter book. Then every Wednesday students who return a completed RAH sheet will receive a weekly reward. Rewards will alternate weekly between a small prize (pencils, erasers, bookmarks, etc.) and a book of their choosing from the RAH Book Cart. (Sheets can be sent into school any day, but rewards are only distributed on Wednesdays each week.) We will reward students for 1 sheet each week; extra sheets will be "banked" and rewarded at the end of the school year. A new record sheet will be sent home each Wednesday with their reward. (If you misplace your record sheet, no worries! Just record "20 Books Read" on a piece of paper with student name, teacher name, and parent signature, and send it in to school.
Thanks for all your support, and Let's Get Reading!
The Oxford Lions Club Sight Saving Committee is collecting used eyeglasses, as well as glasses cases! These glasses and cases are donated all over the world to children who are in need. The lenses and frames from the donated glasses are modified to meet individual children's eye needs. Every year, Oxford Lions Club collects and sends 900-plus pairs of glasses to children in need!
Please send any glasses donations to Betsy Beaton (Marshall Elementary School) or Shaunna Tafelski (Board Office) by December 16th, 2024. We are happy to swing by and pick up glasses donations or they can be dropped off at Marshall or the Board Office. Thank you for supporting the Oxford Lions Club! :)
