Thanksgiving Break!
PRINCIPALS CORNER
A reminder on picking up your child: If your child is in grades 4-8; your child will be dismissed from their classroom when their car
is visible in the parking lot or are met by their family member at the door to the outside of the building. Students will be asked not to
wander around the building looking for their parents. If students are walking home or leaving to the farm, please exit the property
as soon as school is dismissed and all family members are gathered. Beware of strange vehicles and stay in groups of 2 or more
if possible.
Once again, we are going through a school evaluation we hope that our committees have been gathering information. If you
missed the survey, please get one from the office and fill it out, our school would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you to the constituent churches for your support of Cedar Lake Elementary. Church visitations went well, thank you for
allowing us to participate in your services last weekend.
Choir practice is November 7 & 21, 9:15-9:45.
We appreciate the keeping of your financial agreements. If you are having difficulties please make an appointment to meet
with the Principal after school.
THANKSGIVING PROGRAM November 19, 2014 at the Cedar Lake Church. Students need to dress to look like Pilgrims
