Hi Everyone, Welcome Back! I hope you had a fun weekend and got outside to enjoy the snow! Please make sure you are dressed for the weather, so you can have fun outside.    Phys. Ed Our Phys. Ed days this week are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.     Christmas Dinner Our annual school Christmas Dinner will be on Wednesday December 9th. If students did not order the dinner they will have to bring their lunch on that day.  Skating We have skating on Thursday December 10th. Our ice time is 9:45 - 10:35. Students need their skates and helmet to go on the ice. Please check with me if you need skates or a helmet as we do have some extra here at the school. Parents and grandparents are welcome to join us on the ice.   Food Drive Our school is still collecting items for the Food Bank until December 11th. If you can bring in an item that would be great.   Christmas Shoppe The Home and School will be hosting their annual Christmas Shoppe for the students on December 8th.
