Happy Monday ERA Families,
As we are getting closer to the end of the semester, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your efforts this year. I know this has been a challenging time but you are all doing a great job assisting your children with their online work! While it’s not what we all want for their education, you’ve helped to make it a successful and positive experience.
As for next semester, I will be providing details no later than Friday, December 11th. Thank you for your patience as we weigh all the options and concerns.
Here are this week’s updates and reminders:
1. Donations for Needy Families: Sadly, our number of needy families has increased this year. If you would like to donate a gift card for those in need, please drop it off at K-8 from 9am-1pm and no later than December 11th. Walmart and Target gift cards are best so that families can purchase food, clothing and/or gifts. Thank you for your generosity. If you are in need and would like to be included, please email me directly. Your information will be kept confidential.
2. Last STEAM Activity for 2020: The K-8 campus-wide family STEAM Activity for December 11 is linked here. This is an optional activity! We will be drawing realistic animal portraits. In the instructions is a Padlet link to upload photos of your completed projects (password is ERAbobcats). The link may also be shared by your teachers.
3. Last First Chapter Friday for 2020: The K-8 campus-wide family First Chapter Friday video for December 11 is linked here. This is an optional video to watch! This week, Ms. Smith will read from Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Rick Riordan. The link may also be shared by your teachers.
4. December Board Meeting: December 9th from 5pm-7pm

5. D&I Task Force Meeting: December 14th from 5pm-6pm

Have a great week!
