Kindergarten Christmas

Concert, This Thursday, Dec. 6^th, @ 6 pm.   

The concert will be held in the auditorium at 6 pm, the children need to report to their teachers in the multi-purpose room by 5:45pm.  We request that the children dress in their Sunday/Christmas best.  The boys can wear nice clean slacks, collared shirts, sweaters, or ties.  Girls can wear dresses, skirts, or dress pants with nice clean shirts.

After the concert, one parent should come and retrieve your child at the multi-purpose room doors.  It will be very busy and crowded as there will be another concert immediately following their concert and a boys’ basketball game that evening too.

Christmas Party

The children will be having a gift exchange for our Christmas party.  The boys can purchase a $3-5 boy gift and the girls can purchase a $3-5 girl gift.  On the gift tags, please just write to – a girl or a boy, and from – their name.  Please wrap the presents and the children can bring them in anytime the week of 17^th.  The party is on Thursday, morning the 20^th.  It is a half day and the children will be dismissed at 11:35 am.  If you need assistance with getting a gift for the gift exchange, please let me know in the next couple weeks so I can get my elves on it.  Listed is the Christmas Party snacks lists, we have 22 students and remember one who is gluten free.  Again, if anything is a problem please let me know in advances so I can make other arrangements.  Thank you very much!  If you are interested in volunteering for our party please just shoot me an email.
