December Attendance Prizes!
In December before the holiday recess, we will be having a Grand Prize Drawing for prizes for categories such as Most Improved Attendance and Perfect Attendance. In addition, every time students are in school for the full week they are entered into the drawing. Some of the prizes include king-sized candy bars, soccer balls, American Girl dolls, Squishmallows, Lego sets, and even a scooter.
Be in school, on time, every day, for the chance to win prizes but even more so, to grow and learn. You can do it, Mustangs!

Thrive Time Focus of the Week
During our Thrive Time lessons this week, we’ll learn different strategies that will help us with solving problems and making good choices. Let’s make our week great by remembering to stop before we react, thinking through our options carefully, and making decisions that move us forward in a positive way!
Looking Ahead:
Reminder: Send your students in warm coats, hats, and gloves as they will be going outside to play! Put their names in the clothing items and remind them to bring them home every day! If your student is in need of a warm coat, please let Heidi Sanger know.

Friday, December 19: ☃️ Holiday Performances☃️
9:00-9:30: Kindergarten – 2nd Grade
10:00-10:30: 3rd – 5th Grade
Note: *If families want to check their students out after the performance, they must wait in their cars and then return to check them out, 10:00 for K-2nd and 11:00 for 3rd – 4th. This will allow for a safe and orderly transition and so we are able to account for all students.
