Dear Parents,
I was so blessed to attend the reconciliation service On Thursday. It was a
beautiful reminder of how fortunate we are to have a God who loves us so much.
Our guest speaker from the Heritage Museum gave a wonderful interactive
presentation on Wednesday. The children had an opportunity to experience what
it might have been like when some of their ancestors immigrated to the United
States. Thank you to everyone who sent in food for the International Food
Faire. We had a nice variety and the children enjoyed the smorgasbord.
I realize that there was a lot of homework last week, so I’ve kept it to a
minimum this week. Please turn in all homework and make-up work by Thursday.
Turn in December reading snowflakes by Wednesday so I can prepare the
certificates and hand them out on Thursday.
For the Christmas Pageant this Thursday, the children should arrive at the
classroom at 6:30 or shortly thereafter. We’ll go down to the church by 6:50.
When we return to school in January, we’ll have a new student joining our
class. Her name is Calli Hill. The students met her briefly two weeks ago, and
are excited to welcome her into our 2nd grade family.
I pray that each family will have a blessed and peaceful Christmas holiday.
You’ll be in my prayers, and I will look forward to seeing the children on
January 4th.
Merry Christmas and God Bless You,
Mrs. Smith
