Thank You Santa's Secret Helpers: Thank you so much to all of our volunteers who helped out during Santa's Secret Workshop. Thank you to all of the high school helpers, parents, grandparents and 5th graders who helped our students shop, budget and wrap their presents. We couldn't have provided this opportunity for our students and families!
Last Call for Project Pajama: Monday will be the last day to donate PJs. Thank you so much if you have already donated and Monday is the last day to donate if you are able and willing.
END OF DAY CALLS and PICK UPS: You must call the office by 3:00 p.m. to make arrangements for your student to go home a different way. This is a policy that we have had in place and unfortunately have to enforce. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
OUTSIDE RECESS: Please dress your student appropriately for the cold weather. It is our district policy to go outside for recess unless the temp is below 10 degrees w/windchill.
BUS RIDER PARENTS: Please have your student(s) at the bus stop 5-10 minutes early so that our bus drivers can stay on schedule in order for our schools to start on time. Thank you for helping.
FOOD DRIVE: Justus Gage is sponsoring a Food Drive starting December 9 and running through December 18. All nonperishable food will be donated to the First Christian Church food pantry. The Food Pantry is open every 2nd Wednesday of the month. Call the church, leave a message for the food pantry and your phone number and someone will call you back to make arrangements for pick up. Grade Level Incentive Added: Each K-2 and 3-5 grade level that donates the most items will receive a special treat when we return from break. Thanks for your generosity and giving in advance.
