I'm still seeking a few parent volunteers to assemble the baskets for us.  If your parent can help with that, please have them sign up to be a basket coordinator!

The class with the biggest average of donations will get a PIZZA PARTY; the class with the 2nd biggest gets donuts.  We will divide the number of donations by the number of students, so all classes regardless of size have an even playing field.  So, get signed up!  Items are due next week!

FEBRUARY BREAK!

The Unsung Hero is someone who has selflessly gone above and beyond to help, inspire and be a positive example to his/her colleagues.

This week's unsung hero is Antonio Solis, who sings in Chamber Chorale.  Antonio is always dialed in to rehearsal: prepared, hard-working and incredibly focused on excellence!
