Thorson Thursday Folder

December 1, 2022

Wear Thorson spiritwear and bring $1.00 to wear a hat or bring a stuffed animal or $2.00 for both! 

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 all-school Jaguar Jumpstart tomorrow morning. 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. New and unwrapped toys can be brought in through December 8. Additionally, tomorrow, students may participate in a fundraiser for the toy drive by bringing $1 to wear a hat or bring a stuffed animal to school, or $2 to do both. Thank you for your consideration of supporting this great cause.

Thank you to all who supported the Thorson PTO Book Fair by purchasing or volunteering. We appreciate your support! The Thorson PTO is currently  selling bundt cakes from “Nothing Bundt Cakes”, which will make wonderful holiday gifts. Please see the information that was sent home or check out the Thorson PTO facebook page for more information. Orders are due on December 9.

Looking ahead to next week, please remember that we do not have school on Friday, December 9. This is a professional development day for teachers.

Don’t forget, students and staff are encouraged to wear Thorson spiritwear or school colors to school tomorrow (12/2) for our Jaguar Jumpstart!

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Angela Little, Principal
Scott May, Assistant Principal

We are so excited to partner again this year with Nothing Bundt Cakes!  Please share this fundraiser with your family, friends, neighbors, and on social media. Keep in mind, this fundraiser is completely optional for our families, but these bundt cakes are certainly yummy and perfect for Holiday gatherings and gifts! Order forms need to be turned into your teacher no later than Friday, December 9th with one check written out to Thorson PTO.  Also, be sure to include your first and last name as well as a phone number on your order form.  We recommend that you make a copy/take a photograph of your order form and payment for your records.
You will be able to pick up your bundt cakes on Friday, December 16th in the community room(door 14)  between 1:00-6:00 p.m.   A PTO rep will help you assemble your order.
