December 21, 2015 - January 1, 2016


  • Van Arsdale is helping with the Grub Club Food Drive. Grub Club is a bi-weekly program in which homeless and emancipated Jeffco students receive boxes filled with three days worth of food, as well as personal hygiene products. They are working to collect 1,800 pasta dinners, for homeless Jeffco students. Fourth grade is having a friendly competition to see which class can bring in the most dinners! The food drive will be running until January 15th, so you have until then to bring in your donations. Please note: these students do not have can openers, please donate canned pasta dinners with a "pop-top".
  • There will be no blog updates until after we return from winter break. Please have a restful, fun, wonderful winter break! See you in the next year!
  • Santa's Wishlist: Parents, if you are in need of some stocking stuffers, we have a small Santa's Wishlist at the bottom of this blog update.
Dates to Remember:
  • December 21 to January 5 - Winter Break
  • January 6 - Students return




No take home note or reaction sheet for winter break! The only homework over winter break required from student's is the Reading Log. Enjoy your holiday break!


We have been working very hard this year, and been very good, learning and growing as fourth graders (aka fifth-graders-in-training). Unfortunately, our supplies are dwindling! If you need some ideas for stocking stuffers, we are running low on spiral notebooks, pencils, composition books, and dry erase markers.
