December News

As we get into our final month of this year we want to keep you in the loop with lots of activities. Please be sure to pay attention to your classroom Bloomz for any adjustments. Time Flies to think we are also nearing the end of our second quarter. My challenge for your families over break is to tackle some of these fun projects:

• Follow a new recipe and cook something together
• Check out Rotary Christmas lights at Fair grounds
• Play a fun AI game Quick Draw with family and test out your artistic skills
• Visit our local library and check out a new book
• Set aside Cell Phones for the entire evening to spend quality time together
• Check out our December Book Challenge
• Create a Christmas Song playlist
• Get some exercise together- BUNDLE up, get some glowsticks and go for a night stroll!
• NEED more ideas....see the Fitness, Family, Fun calendar at the bottom of this page.

We ask that you make sure that all hats, gloves, boots, and coats include your child's name written on them if possible! We hope that everyone has a safe and joyous holiday season. We look forward to students returning to start off 2025!
