Hello Everyone! 
 
The kids and I were discussing that we only have 7 DAYS left till Christmas Break! It seems crazy that the year has flown by this fast. The students have done a great job so far and I can't wait to see what's to come in the next semester!

  • 5-8 Nativity Tuesday Dec. 22 -  The Christmas Nativity put on by the 5th-8th graders will take place at 11:45 in the church. 5th grade is on 1st. Students should come dressed in their christmas best for the program. No Jeans, shorts or sweats. School uniforms work too! They should wear these clothes to school so we don't need to worry about getting changed. 
2 hour early out-  There has been a schedule change on December 22nd and we are having a 2 hour early out. Students will need to come back to the school after the nativity and will be dismissed at 1:15. 
 
Social Studies Test next Tuesday Dec. 15
 
Prayer Buddies: I hope you have heard from your children that 5A has started Prayer Buddies with our Transitional Kindergarten classroom! We have met with them and done activities with them a few times now and the 5th graders really seem to enjoy it! I can already see them showing more responsibility and being great leaders! I've also attached some pictures below of the students working with our buddies!
 

 
 
Thanks!!!
