Kindergarten and 2nd Grade reading buddies celebrated Christmas together this morning, making a Spoonful of Joy spoons together! Students enjoyed crafting their spoons in their own special way to share the joys of the holidays they treasure!

Just a reminder that the Elementary Music Program is TONIGHT at 6:00 pm.
K-5 students will need to report to their classrooms by 5:30 pm. Please enter the front doors of the elementary school. Parents will then head to the gym to find a seat.
*PK parents please drop your student off by 5:40 pm near the concession stand (outside the gym).

K-5 students will walk with their class to the gym at 5:45 pm.

The Music Program will begin promptly at 6:00 pm.

After the Music Program is over, we are asking all elementary families to exit down the hallway, near the concession stand, and back through the elementary building. This will help with the flow of traffic as JH/SH have a Music program immediately following ours.
As a reminder, there is extra parking across W Hwy.

As you walk through the elementary halls, check out our Christmas decor hanging on the walls, stop by the PTCO Elf Christmas Store, and visit the old cafeteria to purchase hot chocolate and popcorn for $1.00 each!

We look forward to seeing everyone tonight!
