=Holiday Party- Our Holiday Party will be Friday, December 17th. We will be watching the Movie Polar Express and comparing it to the book which we will read as a class. Parents can help by sending in snacks and treats to enjoy during the movie. Check out the sign up HERE, and remember everything will need to store bought- individually packaged is preferred. Students can also bring in blankets and pillows to use during the movie. If you have any questions or concerns about our party please email kgriffith@stjoebears.com.
Ice Skating-
This Wednesday, December 8th, 5th Graders will walk to the John and Dede Howard Ice Arena. We will leave school at 9:45, skate from 10:00-10:40, and return to school after. Students will not need and money for this event (no snacks will be available for purchase). Please make sure to send your child with warm clothes and thick socks. If students have their own skates they may bring them to school in a bag and carry them to the ice rink. If not, they can use a pair from the rink at no cost- it is helpful if they know their shoe size! We can't wait to bring back this tradition at Lincoln again this year!
