Mark your calendars! First graders are invited to perform in an optional holiday musical on Monday, December 14th at 6:30 in the cafeteria. They have been preparing for this for several weeks in music class. It should be cute! I will definitely be in attendance enjoying the festivities. Please have your child at the school by 6:15 if you wish for him/her to participate. This performance is being directed by the Fern Bluff music teachers. I believe more details were posted in the FBE e-news. If you have further questions, please contact our music teacher Ms. Starke at 428- 2174 or Mrs. Anderson at 428-2112.
Wednesday, December 9 is an early release day so that teachers can attend various workshops. Students will be released at 12:45.
I will be at a conference all day on Thursday, December 10. Miss Weaver will by my sub.
Friday, December 11 is Miss Weaver's last day of student teaching. We will celebrate her accomplishments with a special treat and a surprise send off at 2:15. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Friday, December 18th is our last day of school for the semester. We will have a Polar Express themed party. We will read the book on Thursday and then watch the movie on Friday morning. In the afternoon we will play games and have special winter treats. We will also wear our favorite pajamas! In the coming weeks, I will send home more information about how you can help! You can also join us for the fun from 1:30-2:30.
