Just a reminder of the school cold weather policy.  If the temperature is below zero with or without wind chill, we have indoor recess.  Students must have boots and snow pants to leave the blacktop and play in the snow.


If your child has not done so already, please have them bring a bag or box for the Holiday Surprise.  There is a good chance that the item can be damaged in a back pack.

Students picked Reader's Theater parts today.  Some parts are small and some are large.  Students who have small parts will be used as a substitute if anyone is absent the day of the performance.  Reader's Theater does not require costumes or props - everything is done with the voice.


Students will be dismissed at 12:00 tomorrow.  If your child would like to purchase a bag lunch from the school they may or they can bring their own lunch if they would like.


The Holiday Surprise is ready to come home.  I encouraged students to bring a separate bag or gift box for the surprise, as it will get destroyed in a backpack.

Clovis Communicators were sent home today.  Please check it over for important dates for the month of December.


The 4th grade is participating in the National Geographic Geography Bee.  Each child is asked one question in seven different rounds.  Of those students the top 10 will qualify to participate in the grade-level competition.  One winner will be determined to take an entry test for the national finals.  Clovis Grove has never had a student qualify for the national finals based on the test results.  Maybe this will be the year.   Good Luck to all 4th grade students.
