Dear Families,

December is here and cold weather will be around for a few months. If you do not already know, I think snow is a four-letter word. Nevertheless, students love to play in the snow. They must be dressed properly for the snow in snow pants, snow boots (different from their shoes), coats, hats, and gloves. If they are not dressed correctly, they must stay on the blacktop during recess. And YES, we do go outside for recess unless it is below fifteen degrees Fahrenheit.

At SIS, we try to teach the students kindness and compassion. So, SIS holds Penny Wars each December. This is a way to show the students to care for each other and our community. The goal is to add pennies to your classroom container and to “bomb” other classrooms with silver or paper money. All proceeds go to Kuzma Care Cottage to help with January supplies. The excitement each day when students see their classroom containers is so fun!

Holiday programs are coming! On December 7, second and third grades will present their program to the community. All students and spectators should enter through door F of Wilmington Middle School. Students will meet their teacher in the AP room. Spectators will be shown to the gym. Upon completion of the program, all students and spectators will exit out the main doors of WMS.

Enjoy the holiday season! Reach out to me if you need help! If you are traveling, be safe! Always take time to enjoy family and friends during this wonderful holiday season.

Merry Christmas! Happy, healthy New Year!
