Letter from the Editor
Miss Kelsey Bartlett
Welcome to the Cobbet Chronicles!
The reporters here at Cobbet are very excited to have gone digital in November. We would like to offer a big thank you to Miss Bansfield for helping us to achieve this.
It is very exciting to be learning alongside my reporters about publishing our articles online. I am very proud of the hard work they have done writing, reporting and acquiring new technology skills. I hope that you enjoy reading their work as much as I do!
Happy holidays to you and your families!

Newcomer here to tell you to be appreciative of what you have. Everytime you tear off Christmas wrapping paper, be appreciative took time to wrap your gift to make you happy and smile. That is pure kindness right there. Don't just be appreciative of your toys. Think about your family and how they are always there to help you if you lose your way. I want you guys to think about that this Christmas...and every day after.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Over winter break we are encouraging our students to read every day and are looking for your help. Please have your child complete at least six out of nine "Winter Break Reading Challenge" activities at home. Please make sure you sign the bottom of the paper before they bring it back to school on Monday, January 4th. We hope you have a wonderful and happy winter vacation.
