WINTER CONCERTS
We are so proud of the students in Kindergarten through to Grade 6 who are working hard to learn their songs for the two concerts this year. With a much shorter prep time than usual, it was important that everyone stayed focused and learned their parts. This year we are trying a new format as well. We look forward to seeing you all during concert week.

Junior High Basketball Tryouts will begin the week of December 1st. Dates were changed due to Volleyball playoffs.
All junior highs interested in playing basketball at Sturgeon Heights will need to come to tryouts. Girls are planned for Wednesday, with Boys being Tuesday/Thursday. These are subject to change based on PTI's.
Note: There has been some interest with students in Grade 6 to play basketball (which is great!!). Our athletics association’s policy states that if there are not enough junior high students to form a Junior & Senior team, we may offer interested Grade 6 students the opportunity to try out for our junior team.
Go Eagles!
IT'S SUCH AN EXCITING TIME OF YEAR. THE GRADE ONE STUDENTS WORKED VERY HARD MAKING SPECIAL CARRIERS FOR THEIR BEARS. THEY NEED SOMEWHERE TO HIBERNATE FOR THE WINTER. BOXES ALL MADE AND DECORATED AND SAFELY STORED FOR THE WINTER!!
