News from the Prez
TGIF! Looks like we're in for our first snowfall of the winter season. You may remember that December 9th has been a snow day the past two years. I'm not sure that's in the forecast but I hope everyone is ready with shovels in hand. What a great family project…at least it doesn't involve glitter!
Have you read or heard about the new Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery opening on the UW Campus? I received a note earlier this week about the grand opening events that start today and run through December 11th. There are free tours, science displays, demonstrations and activities happening tomorrow including the Wonders of Physics at 10am and 2pm and the Medical Magician at 12 and 4pm. A complete list of events and more can be found at this link. http://discovery.wisc.edu/home/discovery/events/grand-opening-events/ Take a peek at the 5pm offering on Wednesday December 8th…you may just see a name or two you recognize…
Speaking of recognition (and science), my sources also told me we should all tune in to Channel 3 news at 6pm on Monday, December 6th. The Channel 3 Topnotch Teacher film crew was at Leopold a couple weeks ago and the product of their activity is scheduled to air at 6pm on Monday and again during the morning show on Tuesday. I don't want to spoil the surprise…tune in and watch. If you miss the news check their website at http://www.channel3000.com/topnotchteachers/index.html.
Teacher Treat Day - Believe it or not the last day of school before Winter Break is quickly coming upon us. As a way to say thank you to our Leopold Staff for making it up to this point in the year and to send them off to Winter Break with "visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads", we'd like to provide some tasty treats for them to enjoy throughout the school day in the Teacher's Lounge on Friday, December 17th. If you are able to help out with this day by providing some wonderful treats, please contact Jolen Neumann jmneumann@gmail.com with the item(s) you can bring. Any and all treats are welcome. Please drop them off in the Teacher's Lounge downstairs before school starts on the 17th, or in the main office. If you need ideas, here are some of the things we've served up in the past:
Veggies and dip
Salsa and chips
Sub sandwiches
Cookies
Candy
Cake
Crackers and cheese
Hot cheese dip
Thanks to all of you for making our teachers last day before break a little brighter. :)
That's it for now. Have a great weekend, and don't forget to make your online shopping work for Leopold.
