December Community Activity
Monthly, I will be announcing a different “get together” for all San Tan Charter School families so we can spend some time together as a community. These events are not mandatory but they are a great opportunity to meet together and get to know each other!
December’s “Find Mrs. Laramie” will be a special holiday edition centering on a yearly event that happens right in our very own neighborhood. Bundle up because we will be parking in the school parking lot and walking “Christmas on Comstock” light display show!
Meet me at 6:30 on Saturday December 10th to collect together outside of the school to prepare to walk the Christmas on Comstock light display.
I hope to see you there!
