Welcome back from Winter Break as we begin the 2nd semester on Tuesday, January 7th with students!
Due to recent weather events, we ask for your flexibility and patience with bus route times especially tomorrow morning as we transport your students to school safely. While we hope we won't need it, please do allow 5-10 minutes of time flexibility tomorrow as our drivers navigate especially our more rural areas.
Thanks in advance! We can't wait to welcome students back tomorrow, January 7th!
Also, if you haven't checked out our snow day protocol should we ever have to have a school closure, it is here: https://www.nhm88.com/article/1940630

Reindeer games in math today practicing multiplication.



Day 7 was all about Sweden! We learned about St. Lucia's Day and how kids dress up like St. Lucia and star boys to celebrate. We even had the wonderful opportunity to have a parent helper AND my 3rd grade friends during the craft and traditional food tasting! I would say that the consensus was that gingersnaps are "spicy," but they seemed to be enjoyed! Thank you, Tiffanie, for coming in to help out! It is very appreciated!

Reminder to all parents: Today, Wednesday 12/11/24 is a 1:30 dismissal day.
