Happy Holidays!

We hope that each of you has a restful, relaxing holiday break. Also thank you so much for the contributions to the Adopt a Family project. We are blessed to have such a giving community here at PLS.

We are also overwhelmed with all of the cards and gifts from the students. Our diets have been shot to kingdom come! Thank you so much!

We will see the students back at PLS in 2011. We are looking forward to a great remainder of the school year.

Care and Share Carnival Tomorrow!

Tomorrow the fifth graders will be attending the Care and Share Carnival put on by the middle school students. Each elementary student is asked to bring a non-perishable food item to donate. This is always a great event for the kids and is a great way to provide for those less fortunate.

J-Term Class Options

Friday folders from Mrs. Lockhart's class didn't get sent home because today was Thursday, and she wasn't thinking about no school tomorrow!
Sorry! I will be sending you an email with the attached documents so you can look over the course options. Please return them to school on Monday so the arduous task of assigning students can begin soon! My apologies!

Going on an AAAWWUUBBIS Hunt!!

You're asking, "What is that!?" Students in Mrs. Lockhart's homeroom have been introduced to this acronym. Mr. Nielsen's students will hear about it on Wednesday. Students have been asked to locate sentences in any form of text that use a word from this acronym. They are as follows:
As
After
Although (or Even though)
While
When (and Whenever)
Unless
Until
Because
Before
If
Since

The goal is to try and find as many different uses of the words in the list. These words, when used at the beginning of a sentence, will require a comma after the phrase.

Hats, Boots, Mittens! Oh, my!

'Tis the season! The snow has finally arrived. That means boots! (And mittens/gloves!) Students are strongly encouraged to wear boots outside for recess. Even though they are not to play in the snow if they don't have boots on, snow gets into tennis shoes. That means wet, uncomfortable socks all afternoon. If you need assistance in getting boots for your child, please contact either one of us, or Dr. Cryer. We will provide you with some assistance.
