December 8 – 12

We have 2 weeks until Christmas Break and SO O O O O O O  much to accomplish before  the 19th (Our last day before Christmas!) 
A couple of things to be aware of:

First of all we need to remember the uniform dress standards.  Please review these on the Quest Website.  All jackets and sweaters have to be school colors and no hoods allowed. ID tags should be worn at all times.  If a name badge is miss placed or lost, a new one may be purchased from the office for $5.00

December 10th:  SAGE MathTesting 8:45 – 9:45
December 11th:  Hour of Code 12:45 – 1:45
December 12th:  SAGE Math Testing 8:45 – 9: 45
December 19th: Short day and a $1 dress down day.
                              Ugly Sweater Competition (Participation is optional)
                              Sing Along
                              3rd Grade Grinch Day

If you have any questions or concerns about your child taking the SAGE, please feel free to come chat with me.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Everyone who sent a Cool Whip lid and those who rounded up extras and sent those.  We will be starting our December Parent Surprise this week because of all of you!

We will also be working a blogpost that will be ready to go live on Monday.  We did the descriptions of the baskets that were up for auction, and those write-ups were fabulous.
