Dear Little School Families,

This will be our final newsletter of 2025! The next week and two days are sure to bring even more excitement and joy to the Little School, and we are grateful to be sharing this wonderful time of year with your children.

We are thrilled to welcome you all in in on Tuesday, December 16th, for our annual Winter Concert. The students have been rehearsing with enthusiasm and focus, and they sound amazing. You are truly in for a treat!

Students are also eagerly awaiting their classroom holiday parties. A big thank-you to our room parents for helping bring the fun and making these celebrations memorable.

And finally, a bit of special news from the principal’s office…
I am expecting a new little lab in June! My husband and I are overjoyed to for this addition to our family and I am excited to share this happy news with our school community. I will be on leave for the summer but will be back at school ion September!

As we wrap up the year, I want to wish all of you a wonderful holiday season filled with rest, laughter, and special moments with loved ones.

Warmly,
Julie

As the cold weather settles in, please help ensure students come to school dressed warmly so we can enjoy as much outdoor time as possible. Coats, hats, and gloves are strongly recommended for recess and arrival/dismissal. I know getting children bundled up can sometimes feel like a battle, and I truly appreciate your support in helping them stay comfortable and ready for the day.

Mrs. Vant is working on getting our March Book Madness Challenge ready! Check out her wish list to contribute books to our library/this years challenge!

Some of our students got a special ride to school this morning! Congratulations to Marshall for winning our Student Council Fundraiser and thank you to Mr. Pepper and the NRFD for this special ride!

The staff had some fun celebrating the 67th day of school. Thank you Wellswear for creating these special shirts for us!
