December in Phoenix

December is finally here and it's one of the nicest seasons in Phoenix. The weather is just starting to get cold, students are wearing sweaters and sweat shirts to school! The days are still sunny and pleasant.

For Thanksgiving we had a 4 day weekend and many families got together to eat a traditional dinner of roasted turkey and many different kinds of side dishes.

On December 12 we will have our annual Spelling Bee. 2 students from each 4th through 6th grade class will compete to see who the champion speller at our school will be! The winner will compete with students from all of the other schools in our district and that winner will go to the State Spelling Bee. Look for pictures of the Spelling Bee to come!

On December 19th the school year will be half over and we will have a 2 week vacation from school. The second semester of the school year will begin on January 5, 2009.
