Hello December

Well parents, here we are in the busiest month of the year! Our rooms are decorated, and we are in full Santa mode.  These next few weeks are super busy around school. Please read every email or blog we send out so you don’t miss anything.  Here are some of the highlights:

1. Our canned food drive has been extended until Monday.  Please don’t forget to send in the cans.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

2. Next week is our Book Fair.  Please take some time in the morning or afternoon to take your child to shop for some great new books.  They toured it today and are very excited about going.  Preschool students must attend it with a parent/guardian. 

3. Each year the preschool teachers host a Christmas workshop day for our students and parents.  This serves as our class Christmas party.  It will be on Friday, December 14th at 9:00am.  We don't ask you to do anything for this great event except attend it with your child if possible and send in the gift for our gift exchange.  We have different stations set up for you and your child to participate in together such as crafts, cookie decorating, games, and pictures with Santa.  We also use this time as our gift exchange day.  Please mark this on your calendars.

4. December 13^th, 14th, 17th and 18^th are half days.  Dismissal will be at 10:45.  If your child will stay in Extended Day, they will need a lunch box.

5. On Tuesday the 18^th, we will be having a special Christmas movie and pajama day. 

Please let us know if you have any questions.  We know this is a lot of information. 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Veterans Day

As a school, each child sent a card to a Veteran thanking them for their service to our country.  Many thanks to all our Veterans and the sacrifices they made for each of us.  Happy Veteran's Day!

Monday is the last day to turn in Cookie Dough orders.  Mrs. Vinson has set a goal for us and if we reach that goal she will be duck tapped to the wall.  Haha!!!  Get out there and SELL!

Next week will be a fun week.  We are planning many different art projects and activities to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Your children will be making a Native American headband, necklace, drum and shirt that they will be wearing for our Thanksgiving pow-wow and feast on Thursday.  You are welcome to join us at our feast at 11:15 on Thursday.  We will be eating in the Elementary Cafeteria.  Please sign up on the link sent in the email earlier this week so the cafeteria can adequately prepare for you.  An adult purchasing lunch will receive a meat, two veggies, roll, and drink for $5.00.  The cafeteria is providing lunch for each child.  The menu will include turkey and dressing along with all the fixings.  We will be providing a sweet treat after the meal for the kids.  Our hope is for each child to have at least one parent/grandparent attend the meal with them.

Next Friday, we will have an in school program from our favorite magician.  He is wonderful and we know your kids will enjoy every moment!

We hope you have a blessed weekend!!  Stay warm!!

Hello November!

November has arrived and so has the busiest time of the year.  The next few weeks are filled with learning, fun, food, and lots of magic.  Please make sure you are reading each email sent so you don't miss out on anything.  On Thursday, November 15th, we will have our Thanksgiving Feast.  All parents are invited to attend lunch that day with your child.  The cafeteria fixes an amazing meal!  We eat at 11:20.  We hope you will make plans to come enjoy that time with your child.  We will be giving more details at a later time but go ahead and mark it on your calendar.

We have a great Fall Party.  The kids enjoyed all the yummy food and had fun trick or treating all over the campus.  Enjoy the pictures below!

We are now busy working on artwork for the month of November.  Your kids will be learning about the first Thanksgiving, they will become turkey experts, and are learning what it means to be thankful.  Today we went of a leaf walk, collected leaves, and turned them into some beautiful creations.  The kids enjoyed picking out the perfect leaves for their projects!

Don't forget:  No school on Monday, November 5th due to Christian Schools In-service.

Enjoy your extra long weekend!  See you all on Tuesday!
