WINTER CLASSROOM PARTIES
Camanche Elementary classrooms will have their winter parties on Friday, December 17th. Please call the CES main office if you would like to purchase a snack and drink for your student’s classroom. Cost is .90 per student and includes BOTH the snack and drink. For example, a classroom that has 20 students would cost $18.00. All orders are due by FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10TH. Thank you for keeping our students safe!
WINTER MUSIC PROGRAM
DATE: Monday, December 20th
LOCATION: Camanche High School Gym
TIME(S): Afternoon: 1:30 p.m. – This will be a TK-4th grade program (Students will be bussed to and from this program)
Evening: 6:00 p.m. -- TK-2nd Grade
7:00 p.m. -- 3rd–4th Grade
What your child(ren) should wear: Comfort is key – The kids are standing on risers, and some may be sitting on the floor for instrument play or movement. We ask that no students wear hats as this could be a distraction on the risers and during movement it could be a safety issue.
For the afternoon program: All children will be transported to and from the elementary school, and will go home as they usually do from school.
For the evening programs:
TK-2nd grade students: Please arrive to your assigned high school room by 5:45 p.m.
3rd-4th grade students: Please arrive to your assigned high school room by 6:45 p.m.
-- You will pick your child(ren) up from the same classroom after the program is done.
If you have children in both evening programs: You must pick up your younger child when his/her program is done and have them watch the 3rd and 4th grade program. For the older child(ren), they will get to watch the TK-2nd grade program with you, as they will not be allowed into their assigned classrooms until 6:45 p.m.
Information about which high school classrooms your child(ren) will be going to will be coming home soon.
Thank you! – Miss Jen, Music Teacher

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 the school day starts. Breakfast is currently FREE for ALL students.
FROM MRS. MUNSON
These past few weeks as we focused on what we are grateful for, remember that expressing gratitude goes beyond just being thankful, it is an important skill that can help build and strengthen relationships. Learning to look for things to be thankful for is just one way you can help your student with cultivating gratitude. Developing a mindset of gratitude is important to learn at any age.

Mrs. Munson
