A reminder to promote the food drive with your class! Each class will participate in a contest to see who can raise the most food. The winning class will receive a frozen yogurt party. Donations will be collected until December 19. Please see the flyer below for more information.

Recess
I will find a designated area for football and soccer on the blacktop. If you can help remind you class that they always walk on the white (doesn't matter before school, after school, or at recess), to pick up equipment, and to freeze at the freeze bell. On January 11th at 10:30 we will have a whole school meeting in the Multi to welcome them back and talk expectations. Then we will go out to the playground (assuming no rain) to model walking and also what to do on the freeze bell. Once again no students should be bringing their own equipment. If you have any questions please let me know.
