BREAKFAST REMINDER
Just a reminder that non-bus riding students that eat breakfast at school are encouraged to come to school by 7:45 a.m. to allow enough time for them to have a healthy school breakfast before school starts.
DON’T FORGET TENNIS SHOES!
Winter is here! We are so happy to see so many students wearing warm boots to and from school, but we’d like to remind parents to also send tennis shoes for your student to change in to once they are in the building. This is particularly necessary for gym class! Thank you!
ARTSONIA ROCKS!
Thank you to those parents who have given your child’s permission to be on our school website for art class, Artsonia. With this website, Mrs. Wallace takes pictures of your child’s artwork, and then parents can buy products with their child’s artwork on those products, such as t-shirts, coffee mugs, key chains, and much more!
Then, a portion of the proceeds purchased items goes back to the art classroom. Most recently, Mrs. Wallace was able to buy brand new markers with that money! Thank you for your support, and if more parents would like their child to be part of Artsonia, please email Mrs. Wallace at awallace@camanchecsd.org. Thank you!
HEALTHY HABITS CALENDAR
December Healthy Habits calendars were handed out last week! Any students that complete at least 23 days of activities listed on the calendar AND return the calendar to school on our first day back after Winter Break will receive an extra recess with Mr. D.!
