December 12 - December 16

I hope you are all having a great weekend!
This is going to be a pretty busy week for us!.
We will be doing many Christmas activities this week as we get ready for Thursday! We will have Breakfast with Santa Thursday morning. After that, we will go into the library and watch the movie the Polar Express. Don't forget to let your child wear their PJ's! At 12:30, we will have our classroom Christmas parties. During our parties, the kids will be packing up their things out of their cubbies and all of their art projects. They will be bringing home a lot on Thursday!
On Friday, we will release car riders at 12:30. Your child will not need their backpack or folder on Friday.  We will not be having snack either on Friday.
Starting January 1, our school will be utilizing a check return service. When you send in a check, please make sure you have a phone number written on the check.

I hope you all have a great week and a very Merry Christmas!
