Thorson Thursday Folder
December 2, 2021
Wear Blue Tomorrow
A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. It was great to see all of you at Parent/Teacher conferences before Thanksgiving. We are excited to continue our work with all of you as the year goes on.
For the month of December, we are working on the character trait of kindness. We will kick off our work with this character trait at our live Google Meet Jaguar Jumpstart tomorrow. We are challenging students to show kindness in both big and small ways, including participating in our annual Kapco Kids 2 Kids Toy Drive, which is being led by our Thorson Student Council. Toys are being collected through December 9. Thank you for your consideration of supporting this great cause.
The Thorson PTO is kicking off a new winter fundraiser. They are selling bundt cakes from “Nothing Bundt Cakes”, which will make wonderful holiday gifts. Please see the information below and consider participating to support the efforts of our PTO.
Looking ahead to next week, please remember that we do not have school on Friday, December 10. This is a professional development day for teachers.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Brittany Kleeba, Assistant Principal
