Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

The spirit of Christmas is in the air! Over the past 2 weeks we’ve been reading scriptures and stories from the Jesse Tree that lead up to the coming of Christ on the 25th. Students are able to reflect and discuss how each story prepares us for that special day. 

We’ve also had gifts brought in for Adopt-A-Family that are sure to spread joy and love to those in need. We’ll continue accepting donations until next Tuesday, so if you’re out at Target or Trader Joes this weekend, pick up a pack of socks or a gift card to give back to our community.  

Next week will bring Reconciliation on Tuesday, our school wide Winter Concert on Thursday night (mandatory) and our class Christmas party on Friday. There will be no homework next week (Shhh, I haven’t told the students yet!).

Here are some other dates to plan for: 

• Sunday, Dec. 11 – Breakfast with Santa
• Tuesday, Dec. 13 – Free dress for December Bdays
• Thursday, Dec. 15 – Christmas Concert – 7pm, Student participation mandatory
• Friday, Dec. 16 – Noon Dismissal – NO SHARE AND CARE
• Dec 19 – Jan. 2 – Christmas Break: No School, No Share & Care

Please make sure to read our SPN Weekly Newsletter to keep up with school information and events!

Lastly, our Annual Fund drive is still up and running. Please send a check or cash with your child to donate at the front office. Any amount is appreciated and will count as participation for our class (We’re really close and even I donated for Ulysses this morning to work towards that 100%!).

• All classes that reach 100% by December 12th OR if we meet our goal of $50,000 all classes are eligible for Free Dress on Wednesday, December 14: the first class to reach 100% gets Free Dress and Pizza Lunch on December 14.
  • Class Rankings as of 12/7/22: 47% Family Participation
    • TK: 59% 4th: 69%
    • K: 55% 5th: 53%
    • 1: 56% 6th:  47%
