Good afternoon!
We are already in December! There are 2 and 1/2 weeks left of this very quick second quarter. That still leaves time to work hard and finish strong.
As the weather is becoming wintery... please wear appropriate winter wear to be safe and warm. We use the "feels like" temperature of 32 degrees to guage if students are outside for recess and to enter the building in the mornings.
Our lost and found is already piling up with coats and belongings! Please stop by and grab items as these will be donated after the quarter.
Have a wonderful weekend.
From the Desk of Mr. Bonath
Good afternoon parents and guardians,
Hello families! As we look ahead to the remaining few weeks of the second quarter, we have discussed with each grade level the importance of checking grades and solidifying what we already have and/or strengthening what we currently have. As teachers will be closing gradebooks as we approach Winter Break, I have discussed with each grade level the importance of getting in any missing/late items and finishing strong.
I also wanted to give a quick update for our current Survivor Team scores!
On behalf of the PTO- Please see the opportunity to attend a Blue Jackets Game!

C3 (Character Counts Club)
POP TAB COLLECTION November 10 - January 9
Students and staff pop out and bring in your pop tabs. Collect the tabs during your family and friend gatherings over the Thanksgiving and winter break. Bring them into your homeroom from November to January. C3 will donate them to the Central Ohio chapter of the Ronald McDonald House. It’s an easy way to do something good and make a difference in the life of a seriously ill child. The winning homeroom of each grade level gets a popcorn party. The winner of each grade will get points toward survivors too.
