The Winter Ball (January 31st) is fast approaching, and we need lots of kindergarten parent volunteers to help make the event a success.

We will meet once before break to divide up tasks. Be a part of team that brings this much-anticipated community event to life!
From the Office: We are having a great December working on cooperation and much more. Congratulations to all Cheetahs for a successful lockdown drill last week; and thanks third graders for the lovely concert on Tuesday night. Thank you for supporting our Library with your participation in the Book Fair. If you missed out, watch for another Book Fair in the Spring. If you have not already, be sure to see our December newsletter posted on the PTA and school websites. We have two big and important weeks of learning this week and next before winter break and we always appreciate all Cheetahs being on time and ready to learn. Thank you for this gift of your children this December. See you soon – David, Derek, and Staff
