Holiday Activities
Holiday Shoppe - Students have the opportunity to purchase inexpensive gifts for family and friends through our Holiday Shoppe (provided by P.A.C.) December 5-9. All students will have the opportunity to visit the Holiday Shoppe during their regularly scheduled "Enrichment" class. This activity provides and opportunity for students to engage in the authentic use of money (counting, budgeting, receiving change).
Winter Sing Along - Students will gather together for a winter sing along on December 19 at 2:45 pm. The purpose of this activity is for students to join together and sing, building a sense of community. Students will sing secular songs such as Frosty the Snowman during this time.
Winter Parties - We will be celebrating our Winter Parties on December 20. The purpose of school parties is to provide students with a structured time to gather socially and celebrate cultural events. We will be sending information home the first week of December with more details.
Grades 1 and 2: December 20, doors open at 9:30 am, party times 10:00-11:00 am
Grades 3 and 4: December 20, doors open at 1:00 pm, party times 1:30-2:30 pm
