MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN! MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN! MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN! MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN!

Happy Holidays! It is a busy and exciting time of year for everyone. There are so many things to do and places to go. While our students will enjoy the excitement over these next few weeks it is important to remember that learning in school is our priority. We ask your help in maintaining your child’s good habits throughout the next few weeks. Encourage daily reading and math fact practice as part of your family’s evening routine.

The staff joins me in thanking you for the opportunity to work with you and your children in this wonderful community. We wish you a meaningful and cherished holiday season with family and friends.

We collected lots of food for our Harvest for the

Hungry Food Drive. Thank you for your generosity!

Our Super Star Reader is growing! Many students hit

the 25 book mark already! We are very proud of them. Please let us know if your child did not receive a special postcard.

We’re excited that our chorus had the opportunity to

sing at the Odenton Tree Lighting last Saturday.

Speed Stacks are up and running on Tuesday and

Thursday mornings! This is a drop-in program.

the World Assembly for students on our next Magic Monday.
