Fourth Grade 

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

Happy December! It has been great to see all the progress that the students have made since the start of the school year. Each day brings new

opportunities for learning, growth, and fun, and we are thrilled to be a part of their educational journey. This month, we have some exciting events planned for our students. We have our Penguin Patch Christmas Shop open during lunch periods from Dec 9th-13th, which many of the students are excited about getting gifts for their loved ones. On December 17th we will have the Holidays Around the World Show which will be nothing short of greatness! On December 20th there will be Breakfast with Santa by invitation only! Students will be off for Winter Recess from December 23rd-January 1st. Students will return to school on Thursday January 2nd. We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

With love,

Ms. Davila, Ms. Perciballi, Ms. Montalvo, Ms. Nuzzi
