Good afternoon,

We hope you are having a wonderful week.  This time of year can be busy for families.  We hope you can find some time to relax and enjoy the weekend.  Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate!  This year Hanukkah starts Sunday, Dec. 18 and ends Monday, December 26.   Also, this article provides an interesting perspective on How Blue and White Became Colors of Hanukkah.
​

Have a wonderful weekend,
Katie and Mattea

Lost and Found Donation and Refugee One Donations  - Please remember that our lost and found is donated at the end of the quarter, which is Thursday, Dec. 22.  Remind your student to look before the donation if they have missing items.  This quarter, remaining items will be donated to Refugee One. This aligns with the drive our 8th graders organized.  They presented to classrooms on the history of refugees in the United States, which culminated in this school-wide service project. If you would like to donate, please drop off any of the items listed in this flier, SN Refugee Donation Flyer.pdf,  at school in the designated boxes, in the front lobby by 12/22.  
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.
