PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
WELCOME TO DECEMBER! It’s the most WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! A time to be MERRY & BRIGHT! A month filled with joy and giving from the heart. As the holiday season approaches, I hope you're all enjoying the festive spirit and making cherished memories with your loved ones. December is a special time at Boynton, filled with excitement, learning, and community involvement.
Here's a glimpse of what's happening this month:
- In the Classroom: Teachers will continue to teach the standards and students will be engaged in a variety of fun learning activities. During the month of December, students will also take their Winter Benchmark MAP tests in Reading and Math. Please encourage your child to do their very best on these benchmark assessments. Teachers will use this important data to guide instruction and meet the individual needs of their students.
- Special Events & Dress Up Days: There will be many spirit days throughout the month for your child to participate in. Check out the Important Dates & Events section to read our daily special days. We will also push out texts to remind everyone. It's going to be so much fun! Please make sure you check the Important Dates section of this newsletter so that you will know what is happening during this very busy month. We are also having our annual Santa Shop and Santa Pictures this month. The Santa Shop gives your child/children the opportunity to shop for gifts for their family members for Christmas. The kids love being able to be independent shoppers and surprise their family with gifts. It's going to be a month full of excitement!
- Holiday Performances: Our Chorus will have their annual Christmas Chorus Concert. We are looking forward to seeing our extremely talented Chorus students perform and bring us the warmth of the holiday season. It's going to be a great show. You don't want to miss this! Mark your calendars for this upcoming event: Christmas Chorus Concert - Tuesday, December 3rd @ 6:30 PM @ HHS
- Community Service: We encourage our students, staff, parents, and business partners to give back to the community during this season of giving. We'll be collecting toys for the Stocking Full of Love Toy Drive. If you are interested in participating in this toy drive, please bring in a new toy. Toys do not need to be wrapped. A second way that our school community can get involved this month is through our Boynton Angel Tree. Please contact our school counselor, Jennifer Bell, if you are in need of an assistant providing Christmas for your family or if you would like to help purchase gifts for Boynton students who may not have a Christmas without our help.
I hope that the warmth of the holidays will inspire you to continue to think of others and encourage our students to give. I’m looking forward to the positive outcomes we will have with our Boynton Angel Tree and Stocking Full of Love Toy Drive this month. I know that together we can make many children’s dreams come true this holiday season.
- Winter Break Reminders: Please remember that our school will be closed for winter break from Monday, December 23rd to Monday, January 6th. Students will return on Tuesday, January 7th. I wish each and every one of you a safe and joyous holiday season filled with love, laughter, and relaxation. I am grateful for your continued support and partnership. Together, we can make this December a truly magical time for our students.
Warmest wishes,
Mrs. Scott
