Signs of winter are showing up. We’ve put the Outdoor Classroom to sleep, leaves and snow have fallen. Thanksgiving is behind us and it’s almost time for Chenoweth Basketball, Cheerleading, Quick Recall and Problem Solving Teams to start their regular seasons. We are especially proud of all the Chenoweth students who participated in our PTA Reflection’s contest. Several students will be receiving recognition at the District Awards Ceremony this month. We will announce their placement at the district level in our January newsletter. As we approach a New Year, Thanksgiving Feast/Ms. Brown’s class Chenoweth’s PTA is looking forward and there’s still work to do. Our membership goal continues to seek 100% participation. If you know someone who hasn’t joined, invite them to make it their New Year’s resolution to sign-up. As always, we would love for everyone to be able to be active in the PTA, but just joining is a great way to show support for the students of Chenoweth. -Jill Wegenast & Ashley Ryan, Co-Presidents

5th graders raise Funds for Chicago Trip
Tops in Box Tops PTa Contest!
our Fifth Graders will be taking a class field trip to Chicago in May. To help with the cost, they will be selling 2011 Chick-Fil-a calenders for $6 each as a fundraiser. Each calendar has monthly coupons for FrEE items from Chick-Fil-a. These calendars make great little gifts for any friends or family members who love Chick-Fil-a. For more information on purchasing a Chick-Fil-A 2011 calendar, contact Jill Wegenast at jwegenast@insightbb.com
our winners for this past month were Josie & Betsy Scanlan, abby Lotspeich and Stephon Gilbert. Congratulations students, and thanks for the box tops!
