December Newsletter

Dear Families,

Christmas is almost here! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

The "PEACE" Program will be going to see "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" on Saturday, December 3rd. We will leave the K-8 at 8:30 am and return at approximately 3:30 pm. This trip is for students who have met the required attendance criteria.

The 3rd and 7th grades will be taking the Constructed Response Assessment December 6th, 7th, and 8th, with a test make-up day on December 9th. This is a state mandated assessment.

The Christmas portraits from the 8th grade fundraiser will be back December 8th.

There will be a Magic Show sponsored by the Pickett County Litter Grant on Friday, December 9th, at 1:00 pm for grades K-3 and at 1:45 for grades 4-6.

Christmas lunch will be on Thursday, December 15th for grades 4-8. Each student will be allowed 2 guests. Please look for a note home in the near future to help us get an accurate count.

The Band Concert will be on Friday, December 16th, at 2:00 pm in the K-8 gym and at 6:00 for the public.

Remember that Tuesday, December 20th, will be our last day of school before Christmas Break, and buses will run at 9:00 am. School will be back in session on January 3rd.
