Skates & Helmets!

Remember Your Skates & Helmets!

Team Johnston, remember that we will be leaving for the rink right after announcements on Monday, Dec. 12th as we will be skating from 9:15 a.m. - 10:15 a.m.  Parents are welcome to help tie skates :)  and are also most welcome to come skating with us.  All skaters need to have helmets (bike helmets are fine too).  Mr. Stobbe does have some helmets available; having said that, lice is going around the school.  Hope to see some of you there!

Christmas Sweaters & Home Reading!

Christmas Sweaters & Home Reading!

Hi Team Johnston!
Thank you for your understanding as we have all been inundated with emails this week in attempts to reschedule and re-reschedule school events!  The important thing is that everyone has been safe!

Please help your child remember to wear/bring an ugly Christmas sweater for the concert that is now taking place Friday, Dec. 9th at 2:10 p.m. in the gym at Carman Elementary.  Many factors were considered in rescheduling the concert as we met as a school team this morning.  We recognize that we can not accommodate all needs and preferences, but have done the best we can given our less than ideal circumstances.  On that note, please know that friends and family are still welcome to attend!

On another note, home reading minutes are due on Monday, Dec. 19th  Students still have time to complete their 500 minutes and hand in their sheets.  I know that I have mentioned this before, but I want to be clear that our Home Reading Celebration is an event that has to be earned.  It is not enough for students to say that they have been reading at home; they have to hand in their home reading sheet (or whatever paper they have been using to keep track).  Those who have been reading will be rewarded!  Those who haven't been reading will have a chance to read during the celebration.

All students will be a part of our class party that will take place at 2 p.m. on the second last day of school before holidays, Wednesday, Dec. 21st.  I will send out a reminder next week to those students who are scheduled to bring food.

All for now!
