Dec 1-5

decemberI hope everyone had a great break! It’s amazing how quickly (or slowly, depending on perspective) a week can go by. What’s even more amazing is that we only have 3 weeks left before we come to the end of our 2nd qtr.!!

Soccer
Thankfully we have two coaches ready to begin working with our future soccer stars. Officially, we will field a 4th thru 6th grade team and a 2nd thru 3rd grade team. Ideally we still need a couple of assistant coaches, so if you’re interested please let me know.

Traffic Update
Well after 10+ years of dealing with complaints of afternoon traffic, it appears as if we found a solution that finally worked. I want to thank everyone for the support given so far. There’s still a few small issues that need to be addressed, such as lowering the speed bump at the entrance to the playground and improving access to the pickup area. As always volunteers are welcomed.

Upcoming Events
Dec 4 @ 8:30 am- ELAC Meeting in the auditorium. Come join us to discuss ways the school is supporting our English Language Learners.

Dec 8 thru Dec 12- PTA Holiday store (more information to follow soon)
