Thank you for sending snacks. They are very much appreciated. We presently have 23 in the class. Please send a snack at the beginning of each month.

We made $582.21 from our fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who participated. Also thank you to Maria Terry, our coordinator. We will be working on shelving during Christmas vacation.

We will be sending home advent chains on December 4th. The children should take off one candy cane each day starting at the bottom beginning on December 4th. When they take off the last one, the next day will be Christmas.

We are going Christmas Caroling on Thursday, December 13th, to the stores in Oolitic and the Morning Kindergarten Class at Dollens. We will need parents to help and drive.

Our Sleepover will be on Friday, November 30th. This is to give you an evening to shop or wrap presents. Older siblings are welcome to come to the Sleepover also. It will begin at 7:00 on Friday evening. We will be going Christmas caroling first. If you can help with this, please let us know. The children need to bring a sleeping bag or bed roll, pajamas, pillow, clothes for Saturday, and one favorite stuffed animal. Please put your child’s name on everything. Santa Claus will come around 9:00 pm to hear what the children want for Christmas. You will need to pick up your child by 10:00 Saturday morning. We will have breakfast here. There is a $10.00 charge for the Sleepover. Please let us know by November 27th if your child will be attending so we can plan for breakfast.

On Thursday, December 20th, we will have our Christmas Party and Gift Exchange. The gift should cost around $5.00. The boys need to bring a boy’s gift and the girl’s need to bring a girl’s gift. Will the following children’s mothers send a special snack for the party: Willie Flynn, Cooper Holmes, Nora Howat, Gracie Kinser, Jarod Lewis, and Brylie Murphy.

Our last day before Christmas Vacation is December 20th. We resume school on January 8th. The last day we will have extended care will be December 21st. We will resume extended care on January 3rd.

We hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.
