I would like to send a shout out to Roxanne Reiter and her many elves for planning and organizing the Secret Santa for our students. It is such a fun event for the children. They love being able to shop for their parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special. Also thanks to Mr. Dino for providing breakfast and lunch to our helpers.

This month our trait is: Integrity. Students are asked to practice being a gracious winner or loser. If you win, don’t brag about it and if you lose, congratulate the winner. Make sure that you don’t take more than you give. Always be on the lookout on how you can help others.

The Kindness Club is leading a Christmas outreach project and we could use your help. We wanted to do something to help others for Christmas. We contacted St. Elizabeth Charities and got a list of needs for mothers and children. We have various needs that we could fulfill, mostly clothes. The Kindness Club is asking for donations in the form of Walmart gift cards or cash in any amount. We will shop for the mothers and children so we don’t get duplicates. Any amount will be greatly appreciated! We would love to have the donations by Monday, December 2. You can send gift cards to the office in an envelope marked “Attention Kindness Club.” Then at our December meeting (December 3), the kids will sort, package and wrap the gifts for the St. Elizabeth’s families. Thank you in advance for your help and generosity!
