Communication is the key to success
Advent Angel
Your child has been assigned an Advent Angel (older student in the school). Traditionally, the angels will eat a sack lunch together on the last day before the Christmas break (Dec. 22). Also, the Angels usually exchange a small gift with each other. I wanted to bring this to your attention so that you might help your child purchase a small gift (usually candy). Please keep the gift under $5. If you have any questions, please let me know.
