Merry Christmas

THIS WEEK

These are just a few of the wonderful products that will be for sale in Thrifty Finds starting Tuesday morning. Our kinder, first, and second grade students have been learning all about being producers and consumers. They are excited to sell their products!

We also have our fourth grade production of A Christmas Carol tomorrow night at the LDS church on Richards Street. The doors open at 5:30 and the play begins at 6:00. The school went over to watch their dress rehearsal today and it was wonderful! You can still get your tickets from Ms. Julie,

1 ticket = 1 can of food.

We will also have our school improvement plan meeting tonight at 6 p.m.

Thursday is our last day of school before Christmas Break. We will be on holiday until Jan. 7, 2013!!!

LAST WEEK

You may not recognize this photo as one from the 8th grade caroling night, but that is what it is! By all accounts the 8th graders had a wonderful time caroling and ended the evening with a little Dance Dance Revolution at Mrs. Mori's house!

NEXT WEEK

Stay home! It's Christmas Break!
