Greetings Husky Families
Welcome to December!!! We trust and hope that you had a relaxing and wonderful Fall break. As we move into our three week stretch before we begin the Winter break, we encourage you to assist in making this time fun-filled and joyous for everyone. This means taking time to afford grace to everyone. It also means taking time to embrace our SEL theme for the month, which is Dedication. Dedication is our commitment to a task and/or purpose from the birth of the idea to the realization of it.
Grade band-specific texts that connect to this month’s theme include the following:
- Pre-K through 2nd grades: Salt in His Shoes - Deloris Jordan; She Persisted Around the World - Chelsea Clinton; Wilma Unlimited - Kathleen Krull.
- 3rd through 5th grades: Esperanza Rising - Pam Munoz Ryan; A Long Walk To Water - Linda Sue Park; You Are Awesome - Matthew Syed.
- 6th through 8th grades: New Kid - Jerry Craft; George - Alex Gino; The Garbage King - Elizabeth Laird.
Just a friendly reminder: Fall picture retakes are this week (Wednesday, December 4th). Please see the details below:
Retake Picture Day is 12/04/2024! If you're satisfied with your child's picture, no further action is required.
If you purchased and were unhappy with your Picture Package, please send your Picture Package to school with your student on Retake Day. Your Retake Picture Package will be produced and shipped to the school four weeks after Retake Day. Please note, if your child is photographed on the original and Retake Picture Days, the Retake picture will replace the original picture in certain products, like the yearbook.
Students who were absent for Picture Day should come to school prepared to have their picture taken. If you have not preordered, please use the Retake Order Code 87515SF to place your order at https://inter-state.com/Order. To see your Order History, check your Inter-State Account.

There are a number of events happening during the month of December. Please review the monthly calendar that will be sent home later this week or our website for details.
Have an amazing week.
Dr. Kimbrough and Dr. Ferreras
