*10 Days of Holiday Fun
It's time to have a little fun as we celebrate the last two weeks before Winter Break. We have a holiday themefor each day - all students are invited to participate in as many, or as few, days as they would like. Teachers will be participating as well, and seeing what each theme day looks like is always a little treat.
IMPORTANT: As you can see, the themes are pretty minimal and that is because each day is still a normal day of school. So, if you are going to participate, keep that in mind.
*Staff Appreciation Soup Lunch
Calling all cooks! It's our teacher and staffs' favorite lunch of the year - soup! Please visit the sign-up genius and sign up to bring your favorite soup!

Donations will be divided between 79 Condit Elementary staff as a holiday gift. This includes: 37 teachers (including special education), 4 enrichment teachers, 12 administrative team members, 8 facilities/kitchen staff and 18 support staff (specialists, intervention, teaching assistants).
Contributions are completely voluntary, and any amount is appreciated. Please donate by Sunday, December 15th at 11:59pm. Kindly note the two separate groups of staff to give to if you so choose.
As always, if you prefer to pay by cash or check, you may place your order on Membership Toolkit, select "pay offline later" and provide payment to the Front Office with Attn: Condit PTO Treasurer.

*Thankful Thursdays
Thursday, December 19th
Condit teachers and staff ROCK! Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week is not until May but why wait till then to show some love and appreciation for all that they do!
Thankful Thursdays is a program to further augment Condit’s culture of appreciation and gratitude, and it builds on existing programs that celebrate our dynamic teachers and staff. The Thankful Thursday program allows students to provide a personal touch of appreciation for those who help them learn and grow with a written note.
Every third Thursday of the month is a Thankful Thursday. December 19 is a Thankful Thursday! At this time, we invite students to bring in notes of appreciation and gratitude. Students may also bring in a drawing or picture if they prefer or if they are too young to write. Parents are also welcome to send in a note. The more the merrier! Students may also check the Faculty Favorites pages should they like to bring in something additional or wear a teacher or staff member’s favorite color to show some love! Faculty Favorites: Condit Elementary School PTO - Faculty Favorites (conditpto.org)
Each month is designated for a specific group within the school, however, students are welcome to bring in a note for anyone at any point in time. We’d love to be sure that each and every teacher and staff member at Condit gets a note this year.
October 17: Teachers (PreK - 5; Special Education) COMPLETE
November 21: Enrichment (Music, Physical Education, Art & Library) COMPLETE
December 19: Ancillary Staff (Diagnosticians, Interventionists, Wraparound, Teacher Assistants) THIS MONTH!
January 16: Leadership & Administration
February 20: Teachers & Student Teachers (PreK - 5; Special Education)
March 20: Facilities + Kitchen Staff
April 17: Admin Support + Front Office Staff
May 5-9: Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week (All)
Please have your child bring in a note the week of December 16 to the ancillary teachers listed above. They can turn the letter into their homeroom teacher or drop it in the Thankful Thursday bin outside the PTO room and we will be sure the letters get to the right person.
We appreciate your help with this effort, and we know that this kind gesture from the children will be meaningful for our devoted teachers and staff at Condit! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! #Conditrocks
