Dear Parents,
Welcome to the whirlwind month of December! We are learning about the letter "D" and our friends the dinosaurs! Dads, we look forward to seeing you December 11 for our Dinomite Dinosaur Dad Day!
With December also comes Advent. Your child brought home an Advent wreath they made. Hopefully you can leave it in a place where you can discuss the meaning of Advent and our waiting for Jesus to come. We are discussing good deeds to do during the season. Maybe your family could sign up to light the advent wreath at mass. Hopefully your family has some wonderful Advent traditions or you can start some this year. We will talk about the advent wreath, the Nativity ,the birth Jesus, plus all the church holiday traditions.
The children are practicing their songs for the Christmas Concert on Wednesday, December 16. More information will be sent home regarding practice and the pick-up drop-off procedure for the night of the concert. It should be a very enjoyable night!
Just a reminder, when your child is absent from school, you must send in a written note explaining the absence. Thanks for your help.
We got caught in the rain on Wednesday on our walk to music class. Please be sure your child has a small umbrella in their backpack.
I hope this Christmas Season is filled with joy, hope and Christ for your family.
FYI
