Don’t forget the Elementary concert is tomorrow, Wednesday, December 21st! There will be a dress rehearsal at 9:30 AM and the actual performance will be at 1:30 PM. Kindergartners should wear nice clothes. 1st-2nd graders should wear black pants or leggings and will be dressed as snowmen, so they should bring a bright scarf and maybe mittens, or a stocking cap. 3rd-6th graders will wear red on top.
There have been questions as to if we will make up a snow day next Friday, December 23rd as it's marked on the school calendar. Because it is late notice we will not use Friday as a make-up day.
Next week we will finish the week on Thursday as originally planned.
Thank you and enjoy the holiday break!

Here is the audio link for the Special Board session on Monday, September 12th. Sorry about the sound quality, we still had to meet in the auditorium, which is not the best for sound.

Community Ed. | 21st CCLC Program Survey
Please help us help you. We are asking parents AND students to fill out this survey to help us plan school year programming as well as summer programming that will help us meet the needs and wants of the community.
Please work with your student to guide us in the right direction. Also, please fill out the feedback portion on the bottom to provide any info or suggestions if we missed something in the options provided. There is a section for student feedback as well.
If you have more than one student, please have each student fill out a separate survey. The parent will only need to fill out the adult survey one time.
We appreciate your assistance to help us collect as much data as we can to support the education and growth of the community. We want to be sure we are providing ample opportunities for ALL age groups so we can continue to reach higher participation goals.

As luck would have it, I found the other 1st grade class out on a break and they agreed to take a picture with me. This is Ms. Pohl's classroom. Another class full of scholars. GO MERCS!
Look at this great group of scholars! I was lucky to find them in the hallway and got to take my picture with them. This is Ms. Kennedy's 1st grade class. GO MERCS!
It must be my lucky day. I was checking the hallways this afternoon and I came across the other kindergarten class. They agreed to let me take a picture with them. Here is Mrs. Klund's future leaders.
I was lucky enough today to get my picture with Mrs. Hendrickson's kindergarten class. Aren't they a great looking group of future leaders?
