We hope you had a relaxing weekend! Take a look at this week’s events and all the fun activities happening at our school.
Spring EXPLORE
Spring EXPLORE classes are starting January 26, 2026! Juniper will offer a variety of fun after school classes for TK through 5th grade. An Interest Form and informational flyer will be sent home with every student on December 15. If your child is interested, please complete the form and return it to your child’s teacher or the front office as soon as possible, as space is limited. The last day to turn in forms is December 19. Students will be notified in January about which class or classes they are enrolled in.

School Site Council
Our School Site Council will meet on Dec. 8 at 2:45. The School Site Council is a group of parents, staff, and community members who work together to support our school’s academic program and help decide how certain funds are used. Their collaboration ensures that our school continues to grow and meet the needs of all students. We hope you can join us.

Santa Grams
Santa Grams go on sale Dec. 8 for $1.25. Each Santa Gram comes with a candy cane, making it a fun and simple way to surprise a friend.

PTA Penguin Patch
PTA Penguin Patch starts Dec. 8. This is a special holiday shop where students can browse and purchase small gifts for family and friends. It gives them a fun chance to choose something on their own while learning about budgeting and giving. Families will receive more information as the start date gets closer.

Christmas Musical Performance
The families of our After School EXPLORE musical classes are invited to the Christmas Musical Performance on Dec. 10 at 6 pm. Our students have been working hard to bring this special performance to life, and we can’t wait for you to see it!
