GRADE 5: ARTIST IN RESIDENCY WITH LISA ARNOLD

During the week of December 15-19, fifth grade students will get to participate in a mosaic residency with Lisa Arnold.  Students will learn art and mosaic vocabulary, practice techniques, use tools and build skills by designing and creating their own individual mosaics.

We know the holiday season can be a joyful time, but it can also bring added stress for families who may need a little extra support. To help make things easier, please check out this list of community resources offering holiday food assistance, toy drives, and other seasonal support for parents and caregivers.

Please feel free to review this list and reach out to any organization that best fits your family’s needs. We hope these resources help bring comfort, joy, and peace of mind to your household this holiday season.

NIGHT OF THE ARTS: TALENT SHOW

Come join us for the Night of the Arts Student Talent Show! Enjoy a variety of performances, including singing, dancing, drums, comedy, gymnastics, piano, and original animation. Don’t miss the chance to see the incredible talent of our students! Click here to see the students and times for their performances!

Current ICE Activity and District Support

We are aware of recent reports of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in Minnesota that is causing fear and uncertainty for some in our community, especially among our Somali families and other immigrant families.

We want to reaffirm our commitment to each and every student, parent/guardian and staff member: You are valued. You are welcome here. Your children belong in our schools.

SECOND STEP FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 8TH

Social Emotional Learning is important. This week we will focus on Growth Mindset & Goal Setting. Read here for each grade levels information and ways you can help reinforce at home.

A MESSAGE FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE

This is a friendly reminder to talk with your students about head lice and the importance of not sharing hats, combs, hair accessories, or any items that come in contact with the head. As we head into the holiday season and spend more time with family and friends, it’s important to be mindful of preventing the spread of lice to our loved ones.

Common symptoms of lice include an itchy scalp and scratch marks behind the ears or at the nape of the neck. Please reassure your students that it’s okay to speak up if they notice any symptoms. Sometimes children may feel anxious or afraid to tell an adult, which can cause lice to spread if it goes undetected.

We encourage you to check your student’s head regularly—especially if you notice symptoms. If you do discover lice in your household, over-the-counter treatments can be effective. It’s important to remove all nits (eggs) from the hair, as they can hatch and prolong exposure. Washing bedding, clothing, and outerwear, then drying on high heat, can also help eliminate lice. Stuffed animals should be sealed in a bag for several days.

Please feel free to reach out to the health office for additional resources. You may also contact your family practitioner or pediatrician for guidance.

For more information, please see the notification letter from Hennepin County.

NIGHT OF THE ARTS: GRADE LEVEL PERFORMANCE TIMES

FAIR Pilgrim Lane’s exciting performances showcase students’ creativity, teamwork, and confidence. Through art immersion, children explore diverse cultures, storytelling, and self-expression, building essential communication and collaboration skills. Performing empowers students to take risks, celebrate achievements, and grow as well-rounded individuals. These experiences foster lifelong appreciation for the arts and personal growth.

We hope you can join us for Night of the Arts Thursday, December 11, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Students in every grade level have been practicing songs during Music Class. We are excited to feature choir mini-performances!

We'll donate these to families/children who may not be able to purchase new winter gear, or lend to students who left theirs at home. Items we can accept include coats, hats, mittens, snow pants, and snow boots. Please wash them in advance if you're able. Thanks in advance!
