I would like to say how proud I am of our students.  Everyone involved with the Fine Arts did an amazing job during all of the plays and concerts.  This has been a very busy couple of weeks.  We have done some fun activities in the elementary.  We sang Christmas songs yesterday and I read The Night Before Christmas to all of the students.  This week the students took time to guess the teacher's stockings that were hanging in the Eagle's Nest and we met this morning and revealed the answers.  Our first grade teachers were rolled this morning, due to the book fair from last week.  They had the most money in their jar, so they rolled their teachers.  Tomorrow will be our Polar Express Movie day.  We will be serving drinks and popcorn and the students will be allowed to wear their PJ's with shoes.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!!!!   BE SAFE IN YOUR TRAVELS.  IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL SEMESTER.  SEE YOU IN THE NEW YEAR!!!

Principal of the Day!!!

Ms. Williams was today's Principal of the Day!!  She was very busy and excited about passing out Eagle Bucks and running the Eagle Store.  The was the first principal to run the Eagle Store.  She had a great day!!!

Almost Christmas!!!

I want to say THANK YOU for your support for the canned food drive.  We raised 1,811 canned items for our food drive and this will help several families.  We did not reach our goal of 2,000 so I am off the hook this time for the pie in the face.  I am very proud of our students and how they are learning to serve and help others.
