A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
Thank you to all who donated toys or money to the Kapco Kids 2 Kids Toy Drive. The generosity of our school community is truly amazing. We collected over $700 and have three large carts full of toys to contribute to this great cause. We also thank our Student Council advisors and student members. They did a great job of leading this service project.
Winter weather is officially here! Students are expected to dress for the weather. This includes winter coats, boots, snow pants, hats, and gloves/mittens. When there is snow on the ground, students must have boots, and to play off of the blacktop, they must have both boots and snow pants. We are outside for recess unless the temperature or wind chill drops below zero. Thank you for ensuring your child is prepared to be outside!
Please remember that if your child is coming to school late for any reason or is returning to school from an appointment, you need to walk your child into the office and sign them in. Students should not be dropped off without an adult outside of the normal drop-off period. Thank you for cooperation with this!
The PTO is again hosting the Thorson Chess Club, which is currently looking for participants. This club is open to Thorson students in 1st-5th grade. Details and dates are listed below. We also have the Lego Club up and running again. This club is looking for participants and volunteers. See below for more information. Additionally, the next PTO meeting is being held Monday, December 12 in the Community Room at 7:00 p.m. We hope to see you there!
There is NO SCHOOL for students tomorrow, December 9, as it is a professional development day for teaching staff. Have a wonderful extended weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Scott May, Assistant Principal

Nothing Bundt Cakes Fundraiser
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. Be sure to bring bags or boxes to take your bundt cakes home as we will not have these available for you. Pre Orders only--no purchases will be available the day of the delivery.
