Weekly planner attached! Reminder that we have school tomorrow.
More Lep Cookie making...
Earlier this week 5th grade was the first of hopefully many to participate in a new tradition. We were invited by the mayor of Blackwater to make and enter a batch of the new official Christmas cookie of Blackwater, the Lep Cookie! We were privileged enough to have the company of Monna Schuster in the kitchen to teach us how to make them. We learned about the science, math, and practiced the culinary skills that come with baking. In the classroom, we learned about holiday traditions, especially that of the Lep cookie. We learned about the history and importance of oral traditions as well. Not only did we have fun but they were pretty tasty! Come check out the results of the contest tomorrow at the Blackwater Christmas Market!
Candy Cane sales start on Tuesday. All proceeds go to the 8th grade class trip.
Here are the tournament brackets for next week's Conference Tourney at Orearville.
December menu: We will follow Wednesday's menu tomorrow.
Here is the calendar for the 12 days of Christmas dress-days along with a simple little “challenge” daily. Please don’t stress out if you don’t have ithe dress-up items. It’s all for fun! I know the students (and teachers) will be excited to know that Christmas trivia will return next Tuesday. That is always a fun time!
Here is a list of December's activities. It's a busy time between Thanksgiving and Christmas!
In the abundance of safety for all, the Bulldogs will have a snow day tomorrow. The high school bus to Boonville High School will not run. If parents do not transport students who regularly ride the bus, their absence should be marked excused. Please call the high school and let them know the reason for the absence. Please be safe if you must travel.
Join us for STEAM Family Fun Night next Thursday from 6-7pm. All grade levels are welcome to attend!
Happy Thanksgiving from the Kindergarten and 1st grade classes!
Since the Chiefs and the Cowboys play on Thanksgiving and Ms. Keller's 5th grade class has fans of each team in the room, they did a more non-traditional Thanksgiving celebration and had a “tailgate Thanksgiving” while they watched Percy Jackson and The Lightening Thief, the movie to the book one of their groups read.
7th and 8th grade helped set up lights and Christmas decorations around town this afternoon.

Rooms will be our communication tool with parents this year. This platform will take the place of Remind and will appear on the bottom of the Blackwater R-II app. Please be on the lookout and let me know if you have any questions.
