Let’s end the semester with spirit and fun—participate all week and show your school pride!

We will be putting up a Christmas tree in the main hallway decorated with tags requesting items to be donated to those in need this holiday season. If you are able, please take a tag and return the requested item to Mrs. Brust or Mrs. Hutzler by December 17th. We are collecting hygiene products and cold weather items. Your generosity can make a big difference for families in our community! All items collected will be donated to the local women’s shelter.

Additionally, Student Council will be selling Candy Cane Grams. Students can purchase a candy cane gram, write a message to a friend, and spread some holiday cheer! Grams will be sold during lunch from December 8-12. It will be $1 for the gram and $2 for the gram and a candy cane. All Candy Cane Grams will be delivered on Wednesday, December 17th.

Thank you for supporting our school and helping us make the season brighter for others!
