♪Sleigh Bells Ring♫ Yep! December is here already. Here are some dates to add to your calendar. Orchards will have an Early Release Day on the 4th. Students will be dismissed at 1:40 while staff will gather to their department heads for training. December 9th is Orchards Annual Winter Concert. Mr. Berry has been preparing our students for this wonderful event. Parents are asked to have their students at the P1FCU Auditorium at the Lewiston High School by 6:15. Please plan to stay for the whole concert as to not disrupt the other students and their families.
Our “Fill the Bus” event starts December 1st and ends on the 20th. This is an event near and dear to our hearts. Last year our district was able to provide 10,506 pounds of non-perishable food to Community Action and another 4,439 pounds to Salvation Army for a total of 14,945 pounds! Many families in the Valley depend on these resources. Thank you for your donations. ☺
All schools will be closed December 23rd through January 3rd for Winter Break. School resumes on Monday the 6th.
STEM/LITERACY NIGHT fell on November 21st this year. What a good time to gather around fun activities and PIZZA! We enjoyed 57 families with a total of 201people; 116 were kids. The kids built bridges, made straw and circle gliders, did some crystal painting, origami and magnet mazes. There was a book fair with so much stuff. I got a Galactic Book of Fun with a LEGO Greef Kargo to build. There were many other great books to choose from and fun pencils, bookmarks, posters; the list just goes on.
