Thank you for sending snacks. They are very much appreciated. We presently have 26 in the class. Please send a snack at the beginning of each month.

We will be sending home advent chains on December 2nd. The children should take off one candy cane each day starting at the bottom beginning on December 2nd. When they take off the last one, the next day will be Christmas.

We are going Christmas Caroling on Tuesday, December 9th, to the stores in Oolitic and the Morning Kindergarten Class at Dollens. We will need 2 parents to help and drive.

Our Sleepover will be on Friday, December 5th. 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 bedroll, 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 December 2nd if your child will be attending so we can plan for breakfast.

On Thursday, December 18th, 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: Kaitlyne Magnus, Brylie Murphy, Grant New, Conner Nicholas, Zander Nicholson, and Max Nolan.
