The Student Council is hosting two Christmas dances Friday. The grades 1-4 are invited to take part during lunch from 12:20-12:50, after they eat their lunch in the classroom.
The grade 5-7 students will have a dance from 1:30-2:50. Normally the dances are after school, but they are earlier to accommodate the nutcracker dance recital.
The spelling test and assignments are due Friday.
I have found a school’s website that has the same Christmas Concert as our school. On the site are links to the songs with lyrics and links to hear the songs with words and without to practice.
