Other Items of Interest:

Mama Mia Dinner and Valentines Day Baskets - Please send in raffle tickets for Mama Mia. Here's the letter from the PTO if you didn't get it. Here's the invite to give to family and friends! There's a sign-up sheet in the lobby if you'd like to volunteer!

Planning Ahead for Summer - The school year is really flying! We are literally halfway through the school year at this point! The Summer Program Expo will be held at the Woodstock Elementary School on Wednesday, March 14^th from 3:30 – 6:00 pm. It will have lots of summer offerings for your child should you want to attend. Sign-ups for Summer Soak start in March.

Report Cards - This Wednesday 2nd quarter report cards are coming home via your child's backpack. Specials teachers only report progress terms 2 and 4, so their comments will be on this report card. Keep in mind that it's progress that is the true measure. Teachers comments and the "numbers" should support each other. If you have questions on your report card, please contact the teacher first. If you are unable to resolve it, then reach out to me.

Ski Runners - It was another successful week of Ski Runners. Most of the groups progressed to the J bar! The joy and confidence on the students' faces is so inspiring! We were there on time this week so the start was much more organized. Several students complained of their feet being cold, so hopefully this week they can wear warmer socks as the temps look chilly for next Friday again. Think snow so they will have great conditions to learn in! Students can bring snacks or purchase snacks at the lodge.

PBIS - Our students are working hard at being respectful of others at all times in every school setting! Our student council have met and decided on the following school-wide celebrations:

R - Recess is choice - you can stay in the cafeteria and do art or coding activities OR go outside! Mon., Jan. 29
E - Everybody wears slippers! - Wed., Jan. 31
S - Small Stuffed Animal Day - all students get to carry a stuffed animal with them. It should be small enough to sit on the student's desk and not detract from learning. - Thurs., Feb. 1
P - PJ day! - Wed., Feb. 7
E - Eclectic/crazy hair day - Thurs., Feb. 8
C - Cocoa day - Students will have cocoa at snack time! Fri., Feb. 9
