Winter Assembly
Please join the whole school in the gym on December 21st at 2:00 for a winter celebration. We will have a lot of people in the building, so we will need to do dismissal as usual. You will exit the school after the assembly and then at 3:00 we will dismiss using PikMyKid. We hope to see you all then.
It is a tradition in the Lebanon School District for the elementary schools to hold a yearly author event during reading week.
It is my pleasure to announce the long anticipated visit with next year's author, Ryan T. Higgins. This event was first scheduled and canceled during the pandemic shut down and although he isn't currently visiting schools, Ryan graciously agreed to reschedule with us.
Wednesday, March 6th
Ryan T. Higgins
Ryan T. Higgins is the author and illustrator of the #1 New York Times best-selling Mother Bruce, which received the E. B. White Read-Aloud Award and the Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Honor. In addition to the Mother Bruce series, Ryan is also the author and illustrator of Norman Didn’t Do It!, We Don’t Eat Our Classmates, We Will Rock Our Classmates, BE QUIET!, and What About Worms!?, an Elephant & Piggie Like Reading! book. He lives in Maine with his three children, three dogs, three cats, one gecko, one tortoise, and one wife.

WINTER and HOLIDAY SAFETY
Be mindful of what plants you have in the house during the Holiday season. Mistletoe, holly berries, and poinsettias can be toxic if ingested (by kids or animals). Be sure to check in with Poison Control with any concerns.
Be sure to register new toys and products so that you can be notified should there be a safety recall.
Bundle up during cold, windy weather to prevent frostbite and hypothermia. Be sure to wear warm, dry clothing. Wear lots of layers and avoid cotton! And be sure to wear a hat as a tremendous amount of body heat is lost through your head.
Use safety gear. Be sure to wear helmets when skiing, snowboarding, or skating. HELMETS are very effective at preventing skull fractures and concussions, and almost 100% of kids under 9 wear a helmet!
COVID REMINDERS
The Lebanon School District is following CDC guidelines. Please review the information below:
It is recommended that a person test with any cold symptoms. Please contact me if you need COVID tests.
Should a person test positive, the day of the test OR the onset of symptoms is considered DAY 0.
If the test is positive, then one needs to isolate for Days 1 - 5.
One can return to school on Day 6 and needs to wear a mask for Days 6 - 10.
Please contact the nurse if your child tests positive.
If a family member tests positive, it is also recommended that household members wear a mask for 10 days.
Should you have any questions, please contact me.
Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy Holiday Season and a Festive New Year!
