Christmas Week Dress Up Day ~ December 16-20 (Elementary)


CONCERT INFORMATION
Dear Parents,
This is a reminder that for the Christmas concert we would like to have our students wear “festive” Christmas attire. The attire should not be casual (jeans, t-shirts, sneakers/athletic shoes, etc.), but dressy (girls - slacks, skirt, or dress, blouse or sweater; boys - slacks, button-down shirt or sweater; all - nice shoes. Christmas accessories allowed!)
Our standard black/white is also acceptable, but with some added Christmas accessories, if possible (tie, bows, earrings, etc.). If you need help with attire, please let us know!
On Monday night students should be in their places in the bleachers by 6:20 at the latest. Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades will perform at the beginning. At the end of their performance, we will dismiss them to be seated with their parents. Please do not have your child here before 6:15pm (unless they are with you), as they would be unsupervised.
Thanks so much - I’m looking forward to a wonderful evening!
Mr. Reeves

Upcoming Holiday Activities!

Mackenzie Dietz and her dad, Kevin got the answer correct for Trivia question number 15. Dick Ertelt had a classroom next to Mrs. Rau's classroom for 16 years. Also Barb Looysen correctly answered question 14. Mrs. Rau's major for the first two years of college was medical technology.

The Fessenden-Bowdon FFA is starting the planning for our upcoming blood drive. It will be held at the school’s old gym on Tuesday, January 7 from 9-3. We will start making calls next Tuesday to find donors but if you know you want to give and have a specific time that works best for you, please don’t hesitate to go onto Vitalant.org and schedule your time. You could also call the school at 701-547-3296 ext 108 and leave a message. Don’t forget to leave a call-back number.
Thank you for your help in saving lives!

Dear Parents,
This year for the Christmas concert we would like to have our students wear “festive” Christmas attire, rather than (or in addition to) our standard black top/white bottom. The attire should not be casual (jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, etc.), but dressy (girls - slacks, skirt, or dress, blouse or sweater; boys - slacks, button-down shirt or sweater; all - nice shoes.
Our standard black/white is also acceptable, but with some added Christmas accessories (tie, bows, earrings, etc.).
