Busy week leading up to winter break. This last week is always a bit harried, with much anticipation for the holiday season to begin by students, staff, and parents. Enjoy the rest, your time away from school - don't forget to read! - and see everyone back in January.

| Scottie Runners in action! |
Marathon Kids National Program Administrator William Dyson stopped by one morning with his team. They helped the Scottie Runner's Club with their end of semester certificate awards and then stuck around for a bit to see Coach DeLine's and Coach Haynes' PE programming. A good morning and thanks for the visit! Supporting health and wellness is always cool.
As you can also see, Highland Park is gearing up for our January Boosterthon Fun Run activities. Banners are up in the halls and information has gone home to parents. This is our first year to participate and thanks to our PTA for organizing this event on behalf of our students.
In addition to the Dibels MOY assessments, the grade 3-5 MOY teacher data day meetings, and the all important class winter parties, it was another December Medieval Fair. Third graders make stained glass bottles, conduct research and write reports based on medieval times and topics, and celebrate with a performance for parents. Cool dress, cool recitations, and cool dancing this year especially. Thanks all for another nice culminating event to your unit of study on community.
