Weekly Update: 11/27-12/1

Things to Know:


FRIDAY FOLDERS: I am looking for more help for Friday Folders for the remainder of the school year. We have been so fortunate to have 2 lovely volunteers help out each week. If you are able to help lighten their load a little bit, please visit this link to volunteer for a Friday date.

GINGERBREAD HOUSES: The winter season is an exciting time for elementary students! It is a tradition at Somerset for first grade students to make gingerbread houses with their 3rd grade buddies. We are scheduled to do this on Tuesday, December 19th from 1-2 p.m. with Ms. Gardner's class. 


WINTER CONCERT: Our winter concerts are approaching! Please visit Ms. Peterson's website for more information.
