Newsletter Highlights December 7

Wow - December already!

On Tuesday, December 15, at 2:00 we will have our holiday program. This will be only first grade permorming holiday songs in the school cafeteria. We hope you can be there!

This Wednesday we will be making mini "gingerbread" houses. I would like the children to have a variety of candies to decorate them. If you haven't done so already, and if you can, I would greatly appreciate it if you could please send in something to decorate them. We will need canned white frosting (buttercream works best), small candies, decorator icings, and/or anything you think would look good on a very small "gingerbread" house. Thank you so much.

Winter break will be from Thursday, December 17 through Friday, January 1. We will be back in school Monday, January 4.

There will be no after-school classes or lunch served on Wednesday, December 16. Report cards will be sent home that day.

Also, our class has earned another good character party! We decided to have it on Wednesday, December 16. On this day the children may wear pajamas or any appropriate-for-school attire (free dress down). If you would like to send in a yummy treat that would be nice too!

Have a wonderful week!
