- Congratulations: Michelle Mack has been awarded National Board Certification. Great job, Michelle!!! We are proud of you.
- It’s a Jungle: Have you seen the new art in the media center. Doyle’s brushes are hot again. Notice the reading center the next time you are in there. I especially like the giraffe!
- Calendar Committee: Thanks to Cam Scism and Julie Taylor for representing North on the CCS Calendar Committee this year.
- Smartboard Training: We have rescheduled Smartboard training for January 12, which was originally scheduled for December 15. Teachers, mark your calendars. A. McKee will conduct the training.
- Program: Remember that our third and fourth graders will entertain us on Thursday evening, December 11, at
6:00
and again at
1:50
on Friday afternoon, December 12, with special Christmas music. Also, our Book Fair will be open on Thursday evening. This would be a good time to purchase a special book for someone. Our PTO will set up several Christmas trees, which have been donated by area businesses. You may place your bid on one of the four, specially-decorated trees. Money raised will be used to purchase technology for our school.
- Book Fair: W. Phillips has announced several special events that are associated with our Book Fair. If we reach our goal of $4200, Santa will read from the roof again this year. Students will stamp a graph for each book they buy. The class with the most books sold will earn a special prize. Students may make jungle animals to bring to the library. A secret judge will award a winner. One animal per day will be hidden around the campus. The person who finds the animal will bring it to the media center for a Book Fair prize.
- Directions: Do you know how hard it is to write directions for making a peanut butter sandwich? Ask one of B. Sellers’ students. Great activity!
- Staff Luncheon: Remember to come hungry for lunch on Thursday, December 18. Heavenly Creations will begin serving our Christmas lunch at
11:00
.
- PE Club Schedule: Thursday, December 11, is the last day for PE clubs. They will resume on Tuesday, January 27.
- Relay for Life Breakfast: Breakfast will be served for a $3.00 donation on Friday, December 19. That is also “Jean Day” for a $5.00 donation. Thanks to our Relay for Life organizers!
- Staff Get-together: On Monday, December 15, we will gather in the media center for a few minutes. Remember to bring an inexpensive gift for the exchange and a non-perishable food item/s for our needy family table.
- Focus Visit: Donna Senter will be here on Wednesday, December 17, for a visit.
- Christmas Parties: If your class is participating in a holiday celebration in the classroom, please carry out all trash and left-overs. Clean up your classrooms, so our maintenance guys won’t have extra work to do those days. Take down all decorations and seasonal work before you leave for the holidays.
- Days off: December 22, 23, 29, 30, 31, and January 2 are annual leave days. December 24, 25, 26, and January 1 are holidays.
- Quote: Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly, and Leave the rest to God…Don’t know who said it, but I like it.
