Families,
As the snow falls and gives us moisture for spring, we take note of our blessings and opportunities and we have much to be grateful for. We wish each of you a restful and warm weekend!
Mrs. Atherton

Good to Know

• Report cards are being emailed home (yesterday and today). Please respond to the email so we know that you have received it. If you have questions about the report, feel free to reach out to the teacher responsible for the class you are wondering about.
• Hot Lunch orders went out this week. See the email to order.
• On Dec 19, we encourage parents to come pick up their children (and their goods!) from school. There will be one shuttle bus to town for those who need a ride.
• A message from our Parent Committee:

Last year we had such a great response to our Christmas Concert Bake Sale, we would like to do it again at this year’s concert on December 17 @ 6pm.

In order to make this event a success, we are once again reaching out to all parents and caregivers who are able to contribute to this wonderful cause.

If you enjoy baking, we kindly ask if you could consider donating a dozen or two of your favorite holiday treats. Baked goods/treats can be dropped off at PCS on the 16th or 17th in a festive Christmas or holiday themed container. (If you cannot find a container or packaging at our local dollar store, the PC will have some extras and can organize them into tins for sale on the evening of the Christmas concert.)

Your support and generosity will be greatly appreciated, and it will certainly contribute to the success of this event!

Shout Outs

• To Mr. Villegas for painting our risers for the upcoming Christmas concert.
• To our amazing staff for their extra hard work to get report cards done and out to each of you!
• To Mrs. Hunter, Dejrah and Mrs. Neuman for sorting the Purdy’s order for the grads.

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it."

This verse reminds us that even in darkness, light shines through.
