Skinner North Spelling Bee - Is your child in need of a challenging, yet fun activity during the Winter Break? If so, then they might be interested in preparing for Skinner North’s Spelling Bee. This year’s bee will take place after the break. Classroom teachers will host their events in early January with the school-wide bee being held on Friday, January 20th.
The bee is open to any student in grades 1st through 8th.
Study tools can be found here.
Any questions, please reach out to Dr. Magnuson at kmagnuson@cps.edu.
Book Fair- Our school will be hosting our Scholastic Book Fair December 12th-16th. Classroom teachers will bring their classes to shop at the book fair during their scheduled library time. Parent volunteers will also be opening the book fair for extra shopping time from 7:30-8:30 as well as 3:30-5:00 each day of the fair. We are so grateful to them for making this fundraiser possible!
Winter Spirit Week - We will hold a winter spirit week the week before break (12/19-12/22) to build some fun prior to the winter break. See below for the themes
Monday (12/19) - Wear blue and white in honor of friends who celebrate Hanukkah and to stand up to anti-semitism.
Tuesday (12/20) - Winter is coming! Wear your favorite warm sweater and/or socks.
Wednesday (12/21) - Holiday Cheer - Wear your favorite holiday sweater, vest, shirt, socks and/or accessories
Thursday (12/22) - Dreams of kindness - Wear your favorite PJs.
K-2 Winter Assembly - On January 18th we are going to have a winter musical performance for parents in the auditorium. Each class has been working hard in music, learning winter songs and dances to go along with them. They are so excited to perform for you, their peers and their families. To make sure that we have enough space we are going to have the kids perform twice, at 9 am and 2 pm. In years past the kids have 'dressed' up in their best performance gear to make pictures extra memorable.
