Another week in the books and I'm really impressed with how much we got done! Here's a glimpse into our week! These kids deserve a vacation soon.... oh, wait.... :)
Before I forget!!!! Early Release next Wednesday, the 13th! 12:50 Dismissal.

- Make sure to ask them about traveling

Have you heard about HOLIDAY DESK WARS????
Haha, it's been a great week to pull some teamwork together. Each table group earns points for doing the right thing and working as a team. The team with the highest points will earn a little free time at the end of each week. We will be having a full on table decoration competition judged by some SMS teachers and staff during the final week before vacation!
Party Time!
We will celebrate with a holiday brunch on Thursday, December 21st from 10-11. More details will be coming in future details. All are welcome. I sent home a note about the holiday food drive as well as a family in need we can help. See the attached link. Letter
