TACKY CHRISTMAS SWEATER & JEANS DAY, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17

CLASSES DISMISS AT NOON ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18 – LUNCH WILL NOT BE SERVED AND THERE IS NO AFTERCARE

PLASTIC CAPS ARE READY FOR TRANSPORT

Mrs. Pitney has gathered and weighed all of the plastic caps that were turned in.  Now, she needs help loading ALL 85 BAGS onto the trailer to take Indiana.  If your student is in need of service hours, this is a great opportunity!  Please meet at the Boys Dorm at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday, December 17 if you can help. Mrs. Pitney is pleased to announce that she will return with two picnic tables (one regular and one handicap accessible) and three 6-ft. benches.  Two benches will go on the large elementary playground and one will go on the small elementary playground.  Also, any donations to offset the cost of the benches would be greatly appreciated!

LAST CALL FOR MITTEN TREE DONATIONS

The last day to donate gloves, hats or scarves to the Mitten Tree is Friday, December 18.  The Mitten Tree is located in the entrance of the Ogle Building. All donations go to C.R.O.S.S. ministries in Seymour.
