On Friday, the children may wear church clothing or Christmas attire appropriate for church. No jeans or t-shirts please. All three Pre K classes will sing a song at the Christmas Pageant in the church. The Pageant will be followed by our class party. Dismissal will be at 11:30 from the Family Life Center.
SPECIAL NOTES:
1) I still have not received responses from everyone regarding
receipt of the December De Sales Details. Your email response is required by
the school office. My sincere thanks to everyone who has responded.
2) Mrs. Maria Kong, Gabrielle’s mom, has posted a sign-up sheet
for the PreK Christmas party by the classroom door. Additional information will
come home on Monday or Tuesday. Thank you, Mrs. Kong, for all your hard
work!!!!!
The week of December 14th:
We will spend the rest of the month on Christmas
activities. This will be a review
week. We will not introduce a new letter.
I am having day surgery on my shoulder on Thursday, December 17th.
Unfortunately, I will not be here Thursday or Friday. I am so disappointed that
I will miss our Christmas party. Ms. Vicki and a helper will take great care of
our “Busy Bees” in my absence. We are so blessed to have Ms. Vicki. I would
appreciate your prayers for a speedy recovery.
Highlights from the week of December 7th:
We have completed our “top secret” Christmas present for you.
The children worked extremely hard and please know how much love went into the
making of this gift. Most of them have told me where they are going to hide
your present when they take it home (I’ll never tell!). They really want to surprise you on
Christmas morning.
We attended the Advent Prayer Service on Monday morning and the
Immaculate Conception Mass on Tuesday. What a special way to celebrate this
advent season.
The Pre K students continued counting down the days to Christmas
by adding a cotton ball to Santa’s beard every day. Santa’s beard is really
filling out!
We enjoyed our enrichment activities again this week. We love
learning about sign language with Mrs. Kearns. The coaches always have
incredible games for us to play. Our third grade Reading Buddies are the best.
Unfortunately, we will not get to see Ms. Nelson and Maggie in the library
again until December 17th because the library is closed for the
Christmas Shoppe.
I have had a bit of a cough this week and your children were
really at their best when I told them I needed some extra help. They are very
loving and they even prayed for my cough to get better.
Thank you for sharing your incredible children with us!
Love,
Mrs. Sterner
Ms. Vicki
