Coming Together:
One of the most precious gifts you can give
someone is your time, and as the days grow
shorter and the TO DO list grows larger, we
all need a reminder on just how important
this gift of time can be. Besides from those
precious moments of time we have to
ourselves, it's those moments we share
together that make lasting impressions in
our lives. Decorating, baking, playing,
visiting… time genuinely spent enjoying
each other’s company is a gift that lasts.
Prior to holiday break, our school comes
together in many ways. Our faculty's
holiday tradition of singing to all of our
students is the one occasion when we are all
together and it is magical. We also get to
hear our chorus and music groups perform,
when all of their hard work and talents pay
off as they join together as one cohesive
group. It’s the time spent together that
matters more than the gifts we bring or buy.
What will your kids remember about the
holidays when they grow up? Chances are
it’s those memories shared rather than the
gifts received. So joy and peace to your
family as you enjoy those moments together,
and we will be rested and ready for them in
January when you are ready to bring them
back.

Nancy’s Bookshelf
Osceola Elementary School will be honoring our former principal and friend Nancy Little and her service to our school by having a Nancy’s Bookshelf in the Media Center. This bookshelf will have an array of children’s books that Nancy loved or books that remind us of her. If you would like to make a donation in loving memory of Nancy, you can do it two ways:
1. You can pay by cash or check (Osceola Elementary Sunshine $15.00) and we will buy
the book for you
OR 2. You can purchase your own brand new, hard
cover book from a local bookstore and drop it
off at the Osceola front office.
All books will have a special dedication label placed in the front cover with your name. The books will then be
placed in a special section of the Media Center dedicated to Nancy and available for everyone at Osceola to enjoy. Please complete the form below if and return to school with payment. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call or email Kellie Blanco. Thank you for
helping us honor and remember Nancy! All orders must be placed by December 21st
