Dear Parents, This Friday we are inviting all our students to wear their pajamas to school. Friday is our last day before the winter break, and we want to wish you the warmest of holiday seasons! Tuesday, our students in the Dual Immersion program will be performing for their parents. They will perform the same program twice so we can fit all the families that want to attend. See the calendar dates below for your family’s time to attend. STEAM Night!Mark your calendars for our first annual STEAM Night coming next month on Jan. 14th. We’ll have at least 12 different hands-on STEAM activities your child can explore. It will be open-house style, with food trucks here from 5:30-7:30. Bring the family and enjoy an evening of food and fun STEAM activities! Choose Kindness We are on the lookout for any acts of kindness at Altara. Shout out to Mrs. Hadean’s class, who are taking on a daily kindness challenge with their Kindness Elf. Nels Kauppila (1st grade) For sharing sentence strips in 95% with his classmates!

We got the totals back and it was our best turnout yet. Congratulations to Mrs. Dahlmeier’s class who won the pizza party for the most “dough” raised! They got to enjoy their pizza last Friday. We want to remind you about the Cafe Zupas Spirit Night! Tomorrow!! December 17th from 4-9 PM! Don’t forget to mention Altara to the cashier or use the fundraiser tab on the app so our school gets credit. Skip making dinner and enjoy a delicious meal of soup, salad, and sandwiches while supporting Altara! Box Tops are still going strong! Keep scanning those receipts and make sure to give credit to your child’s class. Mrs. Platt’s class is currently in the lead, but Mr. Lowe’s class is catching up fast! Let’s keep it going!
