Penny Wars...last day is tomorrow and Turkey Bowl time change

Penny Wars:  The students have been very excited about Penny Wars going on this week.  I believe there are several "strategies" being used to decide how to get their team to win!  Love seeing them so excited about it.  Last day of it is tomorrow.  The winning team (usually the least negative amount) will be announced next week!

Turkey Bowl:  Due to the high school football playoff game on Saturday, our FGC Turkey Bowl, sponsored by the high school STUCO has changed the start time from 12:00 noon to 11:00 am in order for students to be able to participate or watch both events.  It's supposed to be cold so dress warm.  Don't forget to bring canned goods to donate for the event!

Turkey Trot:  This is a new event for our students this year.  The PE coaches are hosting a Turkey Trot on Tuesday at 1:00 pm.  All students will get to participate in either running or walking the course located on the FGC campus.

Thanksgiving Vacation:  Don't forget students are off school next week, Wednesday-Friday, for Thanksgiving Break.

Grade Reports:  You should receive/have received an updated grade report for your child's mid quarter progress for Math, Science and ELA.  The end of the semester is right around the corner and we just want to keep you and your child aware of their grade as the semester comes to a close at Winter Break.  Please contact specific teachers if you have questions.
