 Just a Note

Time is flying!!  We only have two weeks left of the 2014 school year!!  We have a full schedule the next few weeks packed with family traditions and merriment!  J  I wanted to let you know that we will not be attending performances of The Nutcracker as we had hoped.  So instead we will be having Holiday Celebrations in our class instead.  We will decorate Gingerbread Tress on Wednesday and Thursday next week.  We will also be watching the movie Snowman with other classes on Thursday and Friday.

Thank you to all that came to Santa Breakfast, we had a great turn out!  I love when we have events that families can visit and build relationships.

 Winter Concerts
Winter concerts are this Tuesday December 9^th!   Please have your child in our class between

5:30 – 5:45 for the 6:00 performance.  It’s a good idea to have someone in your group find seats and someone bring your child to the classroom.  Please take them to the restroom before coming to class. 

Book Fair

We will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair in the Hidden Chapel this week.  This is a great way to support our school and pick up some wonderful books to give as gifts!

Food Drive

The annual Canned Food Drive runs through December 18^th.  All food donations will be distributed in food baskets for the holidays.


Gingerbread Forest
Next Wednesday and Thursday morning  (12-17 & 12-18) we will be decorating gingerbread forests.  We will have a signup sheet out for items needed for this activity.  Everyone brings in something different and we share items to decorate our trees.
