We hope everyone had a great weekend and are ready for the last week of school before the Christmas break. We would like to remind all parents of the following:
On Wednesday, December 14th, your child does not need to bring a lunch.
On Thursday, December 15th, both classes will be celebrating Christmas. We ask that each child wear his/her pajamas to school on that day. He/she can also bring his/her favorite blanket, stuffed animal, or any other sleeping item he/she uses. The classes will be doing Christmas crafts and activites that day. We would also like to remind you that if your child would like to participate in the Christmas gift exchange then he/she is responsible to bring a wrapped gift of no more than 150 lemps to school. Girls bring for girls and boys bring for boys. The children will be having a Christmas Breakfast celebration on that day, no snacks are required to be brought from home.
