Spelling lists and homework sheets went home last Friday and will be due on December 4th.

Playground reminder:

It is that time of year again...Students must have their winter gear each day.  We have reminded students that they must have boots on in order to play in the snow. Without boots they must stay on the blacktop. Also, it is helpful if students have their hat, gloves, and so on, labeled with their name.

We listened to Tim Green on Wednesday. He had a powerful message for our students. Work hard, be kind, put academics before sports, and READ!
