Upcoming December Events

I am so sorry for the delayed post.  It seems I am saying that a lot these days.  We have a lot of family birthdays this time of the year, so I am typically very busy.  I am sure you have also noticed that my posts are rarely added to the blog during school hours.  I usually write the updates and add photographs when my sweet little ones are sleeping (when I'm at home on the weekend).  This weekend we celebrated my sweet nephew's third birthday.  We also celebrated our own daughters third birthday.  Her official party isn't until next weekend, but you can imagine that we wanted to make this weekend and today especially fun for her.  Thank you for being patient and awaiting our classroom update.  As a matter of fact, most of this past weeks updates were mentioned in the monthly newsletter that I sent home last Friday.  But... in case you misplaced it or need an easier place to locate all of these upcoming dates/events I will let you know about them again on here.

We will be collecting canned food for the Fill a Ford program.  Please have all canned food items in by December 17th.

December 8th:  This is the first collection date for the Major Savor Cards.

December 12th:  Kindergarten is hosting PTO Movie Night.  The doors will open at 6:30 pm and the movie will begin promptly at 7:00 pm.  There will be several items up for raffle.  In addition, Santa will be there to take pictures with your little ones.  They will be How To Train Your Dragon 2.

December 17th:  Today is the day that we will collect all the canned foods for the Fill a Ford canned food drive.  Be sure to have all canned food items in by this date.  In addition, today will also be the day that our first graders will travel to the high school performing arts center to rehearse our music program.

December 18th:  We will travel to the high school performing arts center again today for our dress rehearsal.  Tonight will be our program.  Please meet your teachers in the high school band room by 6:30 pm.  There will be signs directing you where to go once you get to the performing arts center.

December 19th:  Today will be our annual Polar Express Day.  We will enjoy watching the movie and drinking hot chocolate.  Your child may wear their pajamas (NO SLIPPERS PLEASE).  In addition, they may bring pillows and a blanket or sleeping bag for the movie.  Today is also our last day of school before winter break.  Second quarter grade cards will also go home today.  Please check your child's folder.
