I can't believe we only have a week left in this semester! It's so fun to sit back and reflect on how things have been going up until this point in the school year; WOW...the kids have come SO FAR!! I think about all the progress each child has been making and I'm overwhelmed with excitement. This is a smart bunch of second graders! Everyone has been working to the max and each child deserves a restful winter break. These next five days are going to be filled with quarterly assessments and hopefully a little holiday fun to finish off the quarter. :)
Our PTO sponsored Holiday Shop has come to a close. To those of you who were able to volunteer your time at the school this week, we thank you! I was so happy to see that every single kid at our school was able to shop, even if they didn't have money. Each child was allowed to choose one item for $1.50 or less in addition to the gifts they purchased on their own. Our kids truly enjoyed picking out gifts and shopping for loved ones.
Student Council has a lot happening right now. There is a food drive for Creekside Cares, a Mitten and Hat tree for winter accessories, and they are collecting gently used/brand new shoes for the Reuse Shoes program. If you would like to donate food, please send it in with your child marked, "Student Council Food Drive". If you would like to purchase any mittens, gloves, or hats, please send them in marked, "Student Council Tree donation". If you have shoes and would like to donate them, please send in with your child marked, "Reuse Shoes".
Next Friday the children have early dismissal at 12:05. On this day we will be having our school sing-a-long (for students only) as well as our holiday class party.
I hear we're supposed to get more snow this weekend. Stay warm!
