Kindergarten News from Mrs. Yanoschak and Mrs. Harrell
Week of december 7 - December 11
Dear Parents,
We will be attending two Masses this week. The children will be going
to the Immaculate Conception Mass on Tuesday, December 8 at 8:15. The other
Mass we will be attending is Our Lady of Guadalupe on Friday, December 11
also at 8:15. Please have your child at school by 8:00.
The children will be attending the Angel Shop with their kinderbuddies
on Thursday, December 10 from 11:30 - 12:00. If you would like for your child
to participate by purchasing gifts for family members, then please send an
envelope with your child's name, teacher's name and dollar amount. A list of
family members usually helps the kinderbuddy know who the children are buying
gifts for while at the Angel Shop. Please refer to the Wednesday Mailer for
more details about this fun event.
We are once again proud of the children for earning another Book It!
Pizza Hut reading certificate for the month of November. We truly appreciate
your hard work at home. However, we will not be able to make two copies of
each month's reading log. If the reading log is misplaced, please record
each days reading time on a separate piece of paper and return to school. We
will still honor it as a reading record.
