Attention 8th Grade Families!

As you know, the eighth grade ski trip was originally planned for Friday, January 6th. No eighth grade Chef Fredy orders were submitted for that day (even if you accidentally circled it on your menu). Now, the ski trip is changed to Friday, January 20th. Unfortunately it is too late to add back any orders for the 6th. Because of this, NO EIGHTH GRADERS WILL RECEIVE HOT LUNCH ON FRIDAY THE 6TH. Families that paid for meals on the 6th or the 20th of January will receive a credit for those days. Please just note yor credit(s) on future orders.

We are sorry for the confusion; if you have any questions, please contact Kristen Gazda - kristengazda@sfx-school.org.

Don't forget to sign up for Irish Dance!

The Irish Dance Winter Session begins on Wednesday January 4th. Please make sure your registration form and payment are in the office before Christmas break.

Thanks!

Notes from the Office

Please note that the next 8th Grade Pizza Day has been moved to January 10th (the pizza day form incorrectly lists January 3rd). Thank you to everyone who has supported this important fundraiser throughout the year!

Today, Monday December 19th, is a dress down day for all students celebrating a December birthday. Birthday treats will be shared after Follow the Star on Wednesday, December 21st. 

Parents and siblings are welcome to join our school on December 21st as we journey through the neighborhood for our Follow the Star event. Please send your child to school with weather appropriate outdoor gear for this all-school field trip.

Contributions of change will be accepted for our Haiti well fund through Tuesday morning at drop off. Our eighth grade class will tally and deposit these school donations with the bank later that morning. Thank you to all who have brought in "change to make change."

Thank you to Mr. Krumwiede and our Early Childhood teachers for the wonderful Christmas programs this past Friday and Sunday. School will be dismissed at 1:45 on Wednesday and will resume on Wednesday, January 4th following the holiday break. Merry Christmas!

Congratulations are in order...
