Thank you for sending snacks.  They are very much appreciated.  We presently have 12 children and 2 teachers.  Please send a snack at the beginning of each month.

Please remember to have your child bring something for Show and Tell on their assigned day.  This is important as it is their first public speaking.

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

We are going Christmas Caroling on Thursday, December 6^th, to the stores in Oolitic.  We will need parents to help and drive.

On Thursday, December 20^th, 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 please send a special snack for the party:  Alex Carmichael, Abby Childers, Jordan Heckard, and Alexus Johnson.

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

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