Dear Parents:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families!! I hope your preparations for the upcoming holiday are going well and that you are able to relax and enjoy this part of the year with your loved ones.
We are preparing our Christmas play and the students are eagerly awaiting their performance. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is sure to be a success! I have set the date of the performance to Wednesday, December 14th in the morning for classes and parents are invited to come either at 9:30 or 11:30 am.
We will make, bake and decorate gingerbread men/women as part of a literature sequence on Monday, December 12th. Any parents who would like to join us that morning and help out with baking or decorating are welcome. Please write a note in your child’s agenda and let me know what you would like to do.
Donations of the following would be appreciated:
Multi-colored sprinkles
White icing (pre-made)
Smarites or M&M’s
Next, we have discussed participating in a “Secret Elf” activity. I will arrange for students who are interested to select another student at random. “Secret Santa’s Elves” provide encouraging words, thoughtful remarks, and genuine support towards their chosen person. Gifts are acceptable but I’ve asked students to limit money spent ($5 max) and provide “token” gestures of good will.
Lastly, we will have our Christmas celebration on Friday, Dec. 16th in the morning (skating in the afternoon) and anyone who would like to contribute goodies they would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes to you all in the New Year! See you in 2012!!
Ms. Carla Sumarlidson.
