Parents/Guardians and Students:
It is that time of year again! Student Council members will be selling candy canes at school. This year will have a pre-sale Wednesday, December 14 and Thursday, December 15 before school 7:30-8:05. Each candy cane will be sold at 50 cents a piece. Please have your student(s) bring in their change or dollars to purchase their desired amount of candy canes. There will be limited amounts of all flavors. Remember that your student(s) will need to pay for their candy canes when they order them. Student Council will distribute the candy canes during lunch times. Student Council thanks each and everyone of you for your purchases this year!!

November 1st and 2nd are full of celebrations in Mexico and other parts of Latin America. Miss Wilson’s classes joined in el Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) celebrations on Wednesday. We learned about why and how this holiday is celebrated all around the world. Each class created an ofrenda (altar/offering) using cempasuchitl (marigolds), papel picado, candles, favorite foods, water, salt, and their very own paper calaveras de azúcar (sugar skulls). The Day of the Dead sounds scary, but we learned that it is meant to be a celebration with food, music, and dancing for those of our friends and family who have died. So, if you have any questions about El Dia de los Muertos, ask Miss Wilson’s students!
