Dec 17th Newsletter

Cycle Day 1
Monday Dec 18th, 2023

As the final school week commences before our winter break (December 25th - January 1st), we want to remind everyone that our regular Sunday newsletter will not be sent out on December 24th. Additionally please note that there will be no after school clubs next week on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. 

We hope you all have a delightful and memorable Winter break!

In this edition of the Blast:

  • Toy Drive
  • Spirit Days - This week
  • Art Department Update
  • Lost and Found
  • Green Corner
  • Community News
Toy Drive ends this wednesday!

The holiday season is a time of joy and relaxation for many families. However, many children are restricted to the hospital during this time. Due to hospital sanitation requirements, donated toys and games must not be wrapped or opened. Anything as small as a deck of cards is greatly appreciated.  

We really appreciate your kindness and generosity!  

Spirit Days

Week of Dec 18th !

Each day will be its own spirit day. Each day a student participates in will result in one raffle ticket. At the end of the week the winner of the raffle will receive a $50 amazon gift card.  

Art Department seeks egg cartons!

The art department is collecting egg cartons, cardboard or plastic, to use for paint.  Please drop your donations at the lobby “drop off” table or send them in with your student.  

Lost and Found is overflowing !

Please ask your students to stop by and pickup/check for their lost items!
