	On Thursday, we will have our Christmas party from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m.  
All parents are invited to attend.  No siblings are allowed.  If you have 
been asked to send an item for the party, please send it in by Wednesday.  I 
need these items ahead of time to prepare for the party. 
	On Friday, we will have "Polar Express Pajama Day".  Students may 
wear pajamas to school.  Mrs. Spencer will read the book, The Polar Express, 
to the children. Then, we will view the movie.  We will also serve hot 
chocolate and snacks.  School will dismiss at 11:31 a.m. for teachers' 
recordkeeping.
