Thank you for all the time, energy, and love you have given since August! It's been a great year, but we really need some time away. Enjoy your long break and take some time for YOU! This is a perfect opportunity to truly check out from school and recharge yourself. All this work can wait - we will resume in 2025!
Winter Break - Clean Up Before You Go:
Before you head out today, please take care of the following:
- Students - clean out locker areas, desks, and common spaces. This is a great time to send a lot home!
- Clean up classrooms and common spaces. Things should be put away. All electronics should be shut off and unplugged, if possible. This is a great time to get rid of, put stuff away, or throw.
- Check fridge in Staff Lounge
- Check staff mailbox

Toot Your Horn Thursday:
Liz Stitzmeyer was nominated by Mallory Baumann for "Liz steps into the classroom each day with a positive mindset ready to take on each lesson. The students love her and she's a phenomenal person to co-teach with! She makes phonics more engaging and is willing to try anything with my group of kids. Thanks for all you do, Liz!"
Eric Oppegard was nominated (2nd week in a row!) by Amy Stalochi for Eric spent his "bonus" time while his student teacher was teaching putting together Phonics materials for our whole grade level. He has spent a majority of this time getting this all organized, put together in slides, and added extra resources! Thanks for being such a team player, Eric! You are the BEST :)
