New Lunch Vendors Coming in 2015!

Shannon Forest is excited to announce that we are adding new lunch vendors in January!

In addition to our current vendors, we are adding Hungry Howie's, the Local Taco and are in discussions with two additional vendors.  Starting in January, we will have two vendors on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.  Papa John's pizza and Chick-fil-A will continue to be offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.   Look for more information about the updated menu and the revised order form after the first of the year. 

We Have the Perfect Stocking Stuffer 

AND You Can Fight Hunger, Too! 

Wondering what to give as a token of appreciation to someone special this Christmas?  Our Shannon Forest Hunger Project reusable bags are still available for purchase at any school office for just $5 each.  Support the Hunger Project - Feeding Children Everywhere - as we continue towards our goal of raising $10,000!  The purchase of just one bag will feed a hungry child for SEVEN days!

LOWER SCHOOL NEWS

Dear PRO,

I wanted to write and thank you on behalf of us all in the Lower School for the beautiful luncheon.  The atmosphere, delicious food, and cookie box were such a treat!  We were all able to enjoy rich fellowship and laughter while our classrooms were looked after with parents you provided.  Thank you. 

His,  

Becky Garrigan

3rd Grade students had a Grinch of a day on Tuesday!  Classes watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", drank Grinch Juice, ate Grinch cookies and wrote about how we would make the Grinch smile!  We also had a Grinch word search and multiplication activity.  Students dressed up in their best "Grinchy" attire to celebrate the day!
