December 1, 2025

Dear Wonderful A+ Acacia Families,

I truly love this time of the year! It is hard to believe that we are already approaching the final weeks of the calendar year. December is always a special time for us to reflect on the accomplishments of the first semester, celebrate our students' growth, and prepare for a rejuvenating Winter Break. I canโ€™t thank you enough for your continued support and partnership. We are truly Stronger Together.

This month will be fast-paced with our Quarter 2 Benchmarks (2nd-5th grades), Craft Day, 2nd Grade Musical, and many more events. Please see our flyer section for more information on all December events.
