Parents, thank you for your generous donations to the prize box.  The students loved it and there was enough for all of them to purchase “their share”.  Also, thank you to those who helped with the set up and the “joy”  of helping the students with their purchases.  Thank you for your help and support this year, it is much appreciated.  Mr. Bokinskie

Hi, just a quick note about our upcoming Polar Express activity on December 19th. Originally we were going to start at 9:00 but the school is going to have a sing along for students so we have moved the party back to 10:00. It will last as long as the movie is playing with hot cocoa and cookie treats being served. I still need volunteers to help with the party (10:00-11:30) to include making and serving hot cocoa and treats (and “crowd control”). Really though, I am sure the students will be fine. We are having our prize box on the 18th of December and still are in need of prizes and help. Thank you for your help and support this year, your students are amazing and working hard. Mr. Bokinskie Still need: Hot cocoa mix, marshmallows, cookies and cocoa machines. If you want to donate these items please accept my thanks early. You have been very generous and helpful this year. Thank You..
