December 15th
We are having a Winter Breakfast Party on December 15th at 8:45 am.  We will be making pancakes and have other breakfast foods. We will continue the day with a book exchange, crafts, and games. Book Exchange: For the book exchange please send a wrapped book (gender friendly), around $5.00.  Students who bring a book will play a game and exchange books.  If a student does not bring a book they will not be able to participate.  Games: The kids can bring a board game to play with classmates.  Please make sure your last name is somewhere on the game.   We are learning about money right now so money games would reinforce those skills. 

December 16th
On December 16th we will have our Holiday program at 9am in the cafeteria.  We will then watch Polar Express in the classroom.  Students may wear pajama’s (dress code appropriate) to school.  Please make sure your child has appropriate shoes for outdoor play.
