"Daisy Daily" for Faculty & Staff: DAISY DAILY FOR WEEK OF DECEMBER 19, 2016

Thanks so much to Jackie & Shea

for organizing a fabulous Holiday Party for us all!

Where would we be without you two?

Thanks to all who were able to join us for an evening of fun and fellowship, not to mention yummy food!

As we look forward to the four-day week ahead, a few reminders:

There will be no formal Grade-Level Meetings in my office this week, unless you are in need of something specific. Please use this time to attend to your personal and team planning.
Our PTO is providing a Holiday Lunch for all staff members in the Staff Lunch Room on Tuesday, so no need to bring lunch that day!
We have a special treat on Tuesday morning when Russell Hammond's Carolers from Ledyard High School will treat us to a concert at 9 am.
We needed to adjust the lunch times on Thursday due to conflicts with Specials. Please consult the times in the calendar below. Our traditional Daisy Sing-A-Long will take place at 12:15 pm on that day, just prior to dismissal.
Most of all this week, please enjoy your students and each other, and please keep a close eye on any of your students and families who may be experiencing a crisis this holiday season as we stand ready to assist. Please let me know any concerns and we will strive to get appropriate resources in place.
Oh my goodness, the decorated doors---and walls and hallways---are just fabulous!!! Thanks to everyone who mustered up the energy and time at this busy time of year to beautify our school with the holiday spirit. PLEASE take time to parade your students (and yourselves) around the school to enjoy this special sights! I'll make some special announcements about these creations at our assembly on Thursday.
And more good news---the "Trailer" video promoting Daisy's Literacy Night on January 12 is complete and will be uploaded to our website this week, along with on-line sign-up for families. Thanks to our "Video Dream Team" for creating this and for all who lent their acting talents : )

Enjoy the week!
