Dear Families:
We have really been enjoying Advent with program rehearsals, a Nativity project and working on our Mass books. We will pick up our regular schedule in January.
Here are some last minute reminders:
- I am sending a PDF on how to join REMIND which enables me to contact you all simultaneously via text. With the possibility of snow, I would be able to contact you as soon as I know - which is usually sooner than you'd otherwise hear. I also used it to cancel Safety Patrol this morning because of the cold weather.
- Your student may ask you to go to the craft store for special paper or fabric for our mass books. This is completely optional, but some of the kids are wanting to be extra creative for these books. I can't wait for you to see them!
- Arrival time for the program next Thursday is 6:30 PM. Students should report to the fifth grade classroom. You can pick them up after the show in the classroom.
- On that note - we have a significant amount of wait-time in the afternoon and evening on the day of the show. I'd like to show A Christmas Story. It is rated PG. If you do NOT want your child to see it, please let me know.
- Please see the email regarding our Christmas party with our buddies on Friday, December 16th.
- Report Cards will be sent home in next week's Thursday Notes folder. Please be on the lookout for these.
I am filled with the joy of the season and am so grateful that I get to spend it with your wonderful children.
Pax,
Mrs. G
Be kinder than is necessary.
