FIRST TRIMESTER COMING TO A CLOSE

OUR WRITERS' CELEBRATION gave each student an opportunity to read their selected writing and to hear others "publish" their first project. From stage lights to beginning the "show" with the NFL theme music, we all enjoyed the celebration.

OLIVIA PULASKI walked away from our first Compliment Party with a net worth of $5,156 after a successful game of Monopoly with her team. Other team champions included Jaslynn Castaneda, Drew Strainer, Nathaniel Hentschel, Tasha Jablonski, and Zachery Greenert.

TIMELINE PROJECTS for first trimester are due tomorrow. Students have been using software to develop a timeline of early exploration to North America.

THE FIRST TRIMESTER ends next Friday, November 21. Report cards will be sent home on December 4. Students will receive new job and team assignments for the second trimester period.

CHOCOLATE BARS for our Snow Camp fundraiser will arrive in a few days. If your child chose to participate, they will have until December 2 to sell their World's Famous Chocolate candy bars and return their money to school. Camp balances and all tuition is due by December 9.

OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY (students only) will be held at the Chittenden Home, 16432 Brown Lane, Spring Lake, on Thursday evening, December 11. The potluck dinner will begin at 6:15 p.m. and conclude at 8:00 p.m. Students will need to wear "dress clothes" for this special event. More information will be provided after Thanksgiving.
