NEWS FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Season’s Greetings-
How can it be December already??!! Each month the squeeze in the chest grows a little stronger….I can’t imagine life without these kiddos. I hope you all know how much I cherish the time I get to spend with your kids. Everyone is working so hard and growing each and every day. I know, without a doubt, that they will be successful wherever they go next year, but it doesn’t make it any easier for me.
As always, December means the start to some very busy days before the break. We have both boys and girls basketball seasons beginning. Edmore will be hosting their final home games in December. Rayce will have his last basketball game on his home court on December 15th. The girls’ basketball team will be playing their last game in Edmore on December 21st. Please pack the house and support our athletes.
Last week my JH academic challenge team went to their first ever competition. I was so proud of them. They placed 8th out of 16 teams.
I am pretty excited to announce that we will be presenting the final Christmas Program on December 14th. ALL students and staff are participating in the show, so it will be an extra special evening. I sure hope we get a huge crowd to cheer us on! Please help us spread the word and encourage everyone to come watch. It will begin at 7:00 p.m.
As a fundraiser for our anticipated schoolwide field trip in the Spring, we are going to be making donuts and selling them after the Christmas Concert and at our home basketball games. We will not be taking any orders. If you want donuts, you will need to attend either the Christmas program or either one of our home basketball games. We will be selling them for $15.00/bag (a bag contains 2-dozen).
Christmas break begins on December 22nd and we return back to classes on January 3rd. I can tell that
everyone is looking forward to the break. (If the students get bored, they can always read a book or log into IXL to keep their brains charged. ●• )
As a reminder, we have entered cold and flu season. Please, if your child is not feeling well, running a temp, etc., keep them home so we don’t have a schoolwide spread. We always have Covid lurking out there, and we have free tests in the building if you are questioning Covid. A reminder to refer to the school website for the Covid guidelines.
Don’t forget the public meeting regarding our dissolution plan is slated for December 11th at 6:30 p.m. Yours in Education,
Mrs. Martinson, Principal
