PANCAKE BREAKFAST
Many thanks to the entire Family and School Committee and their families and all those (including students and Girl Scouts) who cooked, served and helped to make this year’s Pancake Breakfast on November 20th a success. The food was delicious, the decorations and atmosphere were terrific and the company was pleasant. Our thanks also to the all of the guests who came to enjoy the event! Everyone’s hard work brought a profit of $750.00 to the school. THANK YOU!
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM—MONDAY, DECEMBER 19TH—7:00 P.M.
Parents/guardians, grandparents, family and friends are all invited to join us for an evening of musical delight. Our children and teachers are working very hard to present our Christmas Program. The school children, Pre-K—8, should wear “Sunday Best” clothing—red and/or green or Holiday dress. If a grade needs to wear something special, the teachers will inform the families. On December 19th the children should be in Church by 6:45 p.m. They are to leave their coats with their families. The children will be sitting with their classes until the end of the program.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
We are in the season of unpredictable weather conditions. Please listen to the weather reports on radio and TV. We will also use the School Reach phone system. That is why we need accurate phone numbers; please notify the school if you change your phone number. Children should dress appropriately for the weather.
Throughout this year I have been trying to encourage you to use the morning drop off plan on the parking lot. With the new Wal-Mart opening, the traffic on 112th has increased both in volume and speed (many times without regard for the stop signs). Traffic will probably get heavier as Christmas gets closer. When the snow arrives, the parking lot will be plowed and the snow will be heaped along 112th and Avenue H making it very difficult to walk or climb through. Paths will be cleaned for the ease of walking to the building. The paths will be from the drop off lanes to the school doors. So the mystery remains, why you would park the cars on the very busy 112th Street to drop off children or jay-walk. Many cars just don’t stop on 112th. It’s mind-boggling!!! Please consider using the safest plan to drop off children in the morning. Use the Avenue H driveway to enter and the Avenue G driveway to exit. If the children exit the cars on the passenger side they NEVER WILL BE IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE. If you do park the car to walk your children to the building, PLEASE CROSS AT THE CORNERS (WE HAVE A CROSSING GUARD).
For the after school pick-up, drivers need to be cautious, as well. PLEASE DO NOT DOUBLE PARK, ESPECIALLY ON 112TH STREET; AND BE ALERT WHEN YOU PULL AWAY FROM THE CURB!
BE SAFE NOT SORRY!!!
