Good morning Charger Nation!

Happy Saturday and happy LAST day of November! Hard to believe Thanksgiving has passed, December is tomorrow, and 2024 is almost in our rear-view mirror!

Anyway, we have a TON of exciting stuff coming up at Consentino over the next few weeks. In addition to our Multicultural Night on December 12th (see below), we’ll also have our PTO Movie Night this Friday (12/6) and our Chorus and Band Concert on 12/16.

Multicultural Night
One of the strengths of Consentino has always been the rich diversity of our school community. To that end, on December 12th we will host our first Multicultural Night from 5-7 pm! There will be food samplings, raffles, music, community resources, and more! So far, we have parents representing the Philippines, Haiti, and Ireland! Staff is showing up big and sharing sample foods from Mexico, Norway, Italy, Scotland, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Albania and Norway! Our students are extremely excited and are currently helping us create displays of each country! We also have some brave students who will be singing in different languages!

This is a community event and will be made possible with parent, guardian, family and staff volunteers!

T1 Report Cards will be posted to the SchoolBrains Community Portal by 4 pm on Monday 12/2. As a reminder, students should not be on school grounds before 8:05 am unless they are in the morning Discovery Club or another school-sponsored program. Picture retakes will be this Friday, December 6th.
