A.B. Combs families,
Congratulations to our students who made the schoolwide Spelling Bee! This event will be held on December 16th at 8:45 in the media center. Also, we are still collecting donations for our Annual Food Drive till December 17th!
Winter Break: Students will be out of school for winter break beginning December 23rd and will return to campus on Monday, January 6th.
Holiday Spirit Week: From December 16-20, we are hosting a December spirit week. See the flyer here for specific dress-up days.
School Wide Movie Field Trip: It is a traditional field trip that we take our entire student body to the movies during the month of December! We plan to see the movie, Moana 2, on Tuesday, December 17th. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to make connections to literature and practice social etiquette skills. Please submit your child’s permission form and $13 to attend. You can send money to school or pay online. If you are willing to sponsor a child by donating for the field trip, feel free to submit payment to your child’s teacher.
Science Fair Registration: The AB Combs Science & Engineering Fair is coming soon! This year's fair will be on Wednesday, January 22nd. Please sign up to participate. Registration is open till December 20th. All projects are due January 17th. We will host a Science Fair & STEM Night on January 22nd (judging occurs during school hours; family STEM night begins at 6pm) All information regarding the Science & Engineering Fair can be found on the school website.
Combs Chorus Concert: Our chorus will perform their holiday concert on Friday, December 20th at 8:45 and 9:45 in the school gym. Parents of chorus students are invited to attend.
Lost and Found: Our school Lost and Found continues to grow. Please be sure your child checks our Lost and Found outside the cafeteria prior to winter break. Items will be donated after this time. It is always recommended to label your child’s belongings so they can be returned.
After-School Activities: We are excited to host various after-school paid activities beginning again in January. You can preview information about after-school Tennis, Soccer, Chess, and Basketball classes that will be held here at Combs. LEGO Play Well is also offering after school activities for K-2 and 3-5.
