Dear Families and Students,
I hope you’re all enjoying our turn back to rainy, gray weather. I really like this time of year—drippy trees, rivers rising, stomping in puddles, that kind of thing. Thanks to all families who’ve been sending a good warm raincoat with your kiddos for recess. Kids who are wet and uncomfortable in class tend not to have happy, productive learning days, and learning is what we are all about! Thanks in advance for continuing to help your child stay warm and dry while they’re here at school.
Looking ahead, remember that during Thanksgiving Week, we have no school on Wednesday 11/27, Thursday 11/28, and Friday 11/29. Is your family having a big family gathering? My family is having a big family gathering. I’m looking forward to it.
Also, our Winter Concert is at 6pm on 12/16. That’s a Monday. Teachers have been thinking about what songs or performances to do, and I know it’s on the radar of at least a few of our kiddos too.
One more thing to put on your calendar: our picture retake day has been moved. If you’ve got it on your calendar already, please make sure you move it to 11/25. That’s all for now. Have a great weekend!
Kind regards,
Nathan Coutsoubos

We will be starting our food drive in a few weeks! The first day will be December 2nd, until December 18th. We will be collecting non-perishable foods, which will then be donated to the food bank. This will also be a class competition; the class with the most items will win a pizza party! Leadership will collect each class’s items daily and keep track of how many each class has. The results of the class winners will be announced Wednesday, December 18th.

Picture Re-take Day has been changed to November 25th. Mark your calendars and watch for flyers coming home with your child.

November 27th-29th

Its time to bundle up! Winter is almost here. Be sure to have your child dressed accordingly to the weather. Warm coats, hats, scarves and gloves!!

Our Panther Way! Be Safe, Be Responsible & Be Respectful!
