Thorson Pride Day Tomorrow-Wear your Thorson Gear! 
 

A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,

We have officially completed the first quarter of the 2021-22 school year. It has been a great first quarter and we are excited to continue learning with all of our students as we begin the second quarter. Thank you for all of your support thus far this year! Your child’s first quarter progress report has been posted in Skyward. Please see the email sent this morning for information about changes to the progress report and for how to access it. Please review your child’s report at your earliest convenience!

For the month of November, we are learning about the character trait of citizenship. Students are learning that being a good citizen means being involved to make your community, country, or world a better place. We will reinforce this concept in our weekly virtual Jaguar Jumpstarts, in the classrooms and throughout the school this month. 

Although it was rainy, we had a wonderful Veterans Day Celebration. Our first ever elementary-wide car parade was a HUGE success! The students enjoyed greeting and honoring the veterans of our community and clearly the veterans who participated were very touched by the outpouring of support. Words cannot express what an amazing experience this was for all!  We thank the Cedarburg Police Department for their assistance in leading the procession. We are also excited to announce that we raised a combined total of $3,700  for the Honor Flight cause across the three elementary schools. Thank you all for your generous donations!

Next week we kick off our Scholastic Book Fair. The Book Fair will run from November 16-22. Students will have the opportunity to shop during their library time. The fair will also be open during both conference nights. See below for more details.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Angela Little, Principal
Brittany Kleeba, Assistant Principal
