Dear Parent,

We would like to remind you of the events and activities for the month of December:
• On Saturday, December 5th the superintendent is conducting a tour of new grade schools in the Kansas City area to give interested parties an insight of what the new school can look like. The staff and public are invited to participate. If you are interested , please contact the board office at 258-2263.

• Please join us Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 for our Winter Program. It begins at 7 PM! Doors to the program open at 6:30 pm. Students must arrive at school and be in their classrooms between 6:30 pm and 6:40 pm so they may line up and prepare to walk down to the gym. The first row of chairs are reserved for the elderly and handicapped, they are marked as reserved. During the program, we ask for everyone to stay seated and that students remain seated with their parents. We ask that students dress up for the performance.
