Just a Note
We have a very busy week ahead of us trying to finish up presents, winter concerts, singing at kindred and last but not lest bowling! 

Thank you to everyone that donated food to the food drive! Your generosity is much appreciated. 

Winter Concerts
Winter concerts have been rescheduled for this Tuesday and Wednesday during school at 10:45 upstairs in Jason Lee Hall. The afternoon concert will be held Wednesday at 12:45. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Bowling
For our winter celebration we are going bowling on Dec 19th and 20th. The morning class will bowl at 9:30 at Crosley Lanes and The afternoon class will bowl at 12:30 (on the 19th). So our last day in class will be Wednesday December 18th. This is one of my favorite activities, it so much fun to visit with families and watch those balls roll slowly down the lane!  And it gives us another chance to wear those Blue Shirts!!  I will have a signup sheet out later this week. The price is $2 for children and $3 for adults. If you could prepay this week then we can let the bowling alley how many lanes we need.
