Mrs. Holdren will be teaching Theater to the children this trimester. She
spent the first trimester teaching Fine Arts and will teach Music the last
trimester.
Chaperones for our Babes in Toyland trip should report to school at 8:45 on
Monday, December 21. The children will eat lunch back at school when we
return from our trip. If you ordered Nutritional Lunch for Monday, the
ladies will have the children's lunches ready for them when we return to
school.
The children will exchange Christmas cards on Tuesday morning, December 22.
If you have cards for your child's friends, please send them in as soon as
they are ready. Please do not attach any candy to the Christmas cards that
your children bring in for their friends. Our mailboxes are part of our
Hallway Display and will be sitting on the floor. We do not want to attract
any unwanted visitors. Remember that names should be printed on the
envelopes as the children themselves will place them in each mailbox by
either reading their friends' names or matching them with the name above each
mailbox. Thank you.
On Tuesday afternoon, we will go over to Church with the
rest of the school for a Christmas Prayer Service. The First Grade children
will perform for us.
The children should wear their costumes to school on Wednesday, December 23.
If your child is wearing dress clothes, e.g., narrators, the child carrying
Baby Jesus, the star, or drummer boy, he/she may stay in the clothes they
wear for our play all morning if that is ok with you. If your child is
wearing sweats for his/her costume, e.g., cows, doves, oxen, camels, donkey,
rams, he/she can stay in those sweats all morning. If your child's costume
goes over his/her clothes, e.g., Mary, Joseph, inkeeper, shepherds, wise men,
angels, he/she can stay in whatever clothing is under his/her costume all
morning. My head is spinning, is yours? Thanks for all you have done to
make this experience so meaningful for your children. Remember, our play
will be held on Wednesday morning at 9:00 AM in Holy Family Hall.
In addition to bringing their FILLED water bottles on Gym days, Mrs.
Giammaruti has asked that, for safety reasons, the girls NOT wear earrings on
Gym days. If your daughter has starter posts that cannot be removed, please
cover them up with band-aids. She also asks that girls with long hair
wear a pony tail on Gym days. Thank you.
Any child who goes out in the Walker line should be doing just that, walking
home from school. If you are picking your child up in a car, please use the
car line. Thank you.
Pretzel Money for the week of December 21 is due on Friday, December 18.
