We will also have staff member wish lists for those of you who may be looking for the perfect holiday gift to show your appreciation. Look for the Apples bulletin board outside the LLC. Each teacher will have an Apple and in it you will find books they have chosen with the table number where the book can be found. It’s a lovely way to add to their classroom collection or to pick a personal holiday gift!

Bundle the Kids Up to Keep Them Warm!

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SCHOOL NURSE:
It looks like winter has arrived early this year! Please send your children to school dressed and prepared to play outside in the cold. Please have children dress for the weather. They need warm winter coats, scarves, gloves and hats. Grades 1-4 will also need snow pants and winter boots when it snows in order to be able to play in the snow.

Thank you!

Erin Reilly Godellas, R.N., B.S.N. School Nurse, Lincoln Elementary
