Did your student come home and tell you about the GOLD lame table cloth and linen napkins for lunch? Ask a child, they will tell you what will get them motivated to CONTINUE doing the right thing.  Some Price students STILL are participating in the weekly drawings BUT some are "saving" their Praise Paw  tokens for the special table at lunch or their picture on the wall.  Ask your child about it!

    School Closing and Delayed Start Schedule
Winter is around the corner, and bad weather often means school closings or delays. A phone "message alert" will be sent sent to all parents if this should occur. You can also hear about school closings or delays on local radio stations. On Delayed Start mornings there will be no Six-District Compact busing or program, and no AM kindergarten classes. PM kindergarten busing and classes will resume as normal.  Read on for Delayed Start Schedule:

Our wonderful Winter Program is now available to watch online!

Friday, Dec. 2nd, Price Elementary welcomed Mr. Keith Viers, a local businessman from Ohio Savings Bank (2783 State Road, A division of New York Community Bank) to "shadow" the building principal, Mrs. Schoterman for the day.  The students, staff and parent volunteers welcomed him as he met them in the hallways, visited the classrooms, ate "Red Tray Lunch(with no Hollywood Squares)" with them and watched the dress rehearsal/practice of the Holiday Concert.  Please come back any time, new friend.

On Monday, Dec. 5th at 1:30 PM  and Tuesday, Dec. 6th at 7:00 PM , the Price Primary Grade students will steal your hearts during the Holiday Shows written, directed, and produced by Ms. Stofsick and friends.  The "penguins" save the day.  Don't be late, the place will be packed!

Thanks to Heather Kay and her party planning team and  Zumba Instructors Christy Leenheer & Nikki Longfellow ( Price Parent), just over $900.00 was raised for the Susan G. Komen Foundation as dancers participated in a 2 hour marathon in the Price Gym on Nov. 18th.  Huge thanks to all who came as well as the MANY Cuyahoga Falls business who donated door prizes. Go to Zumba Marathon in the Gallery for more pictures.

Each month the Cuyahoga Falls Board of Education recognizes two outstanding students from each of the 11 schools in the district.  It is a night to remember for the representatives from each school and their families.  Read more about the
Price Top Tigers for November, Kellie Kirsch and Bobbi Wilson.

Do you realize how much your child LOVES playing outside at recess in the snow?  Do you realize that without boots, the child MUST say off of the snow? 
Families, please be thinking about obtaining boots for your children now, while they available in the stores and reasonably priced. The first snow always seems to take us by surprise, but it will be here before you know it. Once we have more than a dusting of snow, children must have boots in order to go outdoors for recess. All the children need the exercise and break at lunchtime. Staying indoors is not an option.

If you can't provide boots for your child, please call Mrs. Schoterman, and we will help you get them. Also, if you have any gently used boots that your child has outgrown, consider donating them to school for other children, who are in need.
