Tissue Donations Needed

The "cold and flu" season has arrived and we are in need of tissues for the classrooms. We are asking that each family bring in a box of tissues to help supply our classrooms. Please drop them off in the office. Our noses know to say, "thank you"!

Spelling Bee

Congratulations to our Spelling Bee school champion, Taylor Plekker, and runner-up, Jordan Falk!  They will both be representing our school at the next level of the Spelling Bee on February 12.  A round of applause is also needed for all of the 36 4th-8th graders that participated in our Bee last Friday.  Well done!



Sports news this past Saturday:

6th grade boys won their basketball game against OLC.

It was a winning sort of day for the Eagles! Both 5/6 girls teams won, too!!!



Go Eagles!

                                                                                        

P.E. NEWS

P.E. in January means basketball time.  1st-2nd graders will work on individual skills.  3rd-8th graders will practice the individual skills, but will also have opportunities for additional skill contests, as well as basketball games.



A Yearbook reminder

If you haven't already done so, please get your yearbooks ordered.  The price is $20 until Spring Break; after that, the price goes up to $23.  It will be $25 if you wait to see if we have extras in late May.
