It's difficult to believe that tomorrow will be December 1st! As I'm sure you are well aware, December is a very exciting month for elementary school students. There are so many special events that happen this month, both at school and at home.

I hope you will be able to visit the PTA Scholarship Craft Fair this weekend. Thank you to everyone who will be donating pies for Saturday. Donations can be dropped off at school tomorrow, Friday, December 1st. There are many great crafters that have signed up to be a part of this event. Happily, the Phippsburg Historical Society will resume its cookie walk this year. And of course, the Fair's famous lobster stew will be served!

In addition to the Craft Fair, our annual Winter Concert will be held on December 14th. Students should arrive at school NO earlier than 5:45 and report to their classroom. The concert will begin at 6:00 PM. On Friday, we will have our monthly spirit event by wearing "ugly sweaters."

As you can see, it will be an incredibly busy and exciting month. Here at school, we'll do our best to maintain our routines and keep students focused while still having fun!
