Last week the 8th grade cooking classes held a cake decorating contest. All of the cakes looked and tasted great. In first place with Chick-Fil-A were Myah Johnson, Leela Keller, Chloe Osborne, and Jessie Roylance. Earning second place with their Bear Beach cake were Kash Athey, Tyler Beck, Addison Hennebry, and Isla Mahon. The third place cake was Christmas Mistake by Kimberly Almanza, Delaney Hardwick and Emma Montgomery. Congratulations to all of our contestants and especially to our winners.
The weeks leading up to winter break are filled with activities and celebration. Girls basketball will be concluding this week. Band and choir have concerts, we have a dance next week, and students and teachers are working hard to address essential learning before the break. Please check in with your student to make sure they are on track to finish assigned activities before break. Our semester doesn’t end until January 17th, but winter break feels like the natural midpoint of the year. The break will be so much more enjoyable if students go into it with no missing assignments. Teachers are available during Scout Learning Lab Monday-Thursday to help students. Let’s add to the holiday cheer this year by celebrating having every assignment possible completed before the break.
A couple of housekeeping items for your consideration. We will be clearing out the lost and found on the 20th. Please encourage your student to check for any missing items before winter break. The December PAC meeting has been cancelled. We will meet again in the new year on January 21st. We would also appreciate your feedback on how we are doing in regards to creating and sustaining a welcoming environment in our school. Please use this link to complete a quick survey. It will only take a few minutes.
The holidays are definitely something to look forward to. I hope we can all take a moment this week to reflect on the good things that have happened this school year and on the great things to come. As we dash towards winter break, let’s make the days count and not worry as much about counting the days. Make it a great week.
