Dear Hózhó Families,
Christmas Wishlist - This year for our Annual Christmas Wishlist, we are requesting items that have been the most popular over the years. Please sign up to donate an item (or more!) to be dropped off at the front desk by Monday, December 8th. All donated items should be unwrapped. Thank you in advance for helping make our students' Christmas full of cheer! The items donated will go to many of our students who could use extra holiday cheer this season.

Art Highlight
2nd grade is learning about Greek art this month. Last week they learned about the Parthenon, the famous temple in Athens, Greece dedicated to the goddess Athena. Then they drew a copy of a Greek temple and identified three architectural features: pediment, frieze, and columns. They had a blast!
