Hello families, 

Winter Concert 

What a show! We had signing, poetry, dancing, acting and so much more! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. The pride of our students was beaming off of them😊 

We thank everyone who was able to attend for their kind audience support and for the many people who helped us set up or clean up from the concert! Gratitude to our teachers and staff for their diligence in the setting up our performers for success. Such a great opportunity for our students to stand on stage with confidence.  

Alien Inline Skating Residency 

With the rescheduling of the Alien Inline Skating registration, is the addition of new Acknowledgement of Risk Forms. We will need you to fill out the ORANGE copy that will be coming home this week and have it returned by Wednesday, December 17th. Our apologies for the potential confusion as there was a printing error on the green forms so they are not valid. We appreciate your cooperation. 

Holiday Theme Days 

Many of our students and staff enjoy dressing up for our spirit days and showing off their creativity. Participation is always optional. Join in one day next week, all days or no days. It is completely up to you and your child. If your child doesn’t happen to have a holiday hat, please let us know at the office and we will make sure we provide an option. We want everyone to be included that is interested.
