Merry Christmas!
"He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree."--Roy L. Smith
I hope your Christmas break is filled with peace, rest, love, and joy! My plan is to never get out of my pajamas!
My cup runneth over!
Ms. Hindmarch called me down to her office on Wednesday. I was overcome with emotions and cried with joy. I am so PROUD of the gifts that you shopped, bought, wrapped, and gave with your heart to. We sponsored 3 families on our Angel Tree. Thank you! You rock in more ways than one.
Pine Cove
85 Crippen students attended Pine Cove this past Monday through Wednesday. It was an absolute joy to see them learn, bond, and have fun. Thank you to the 15 chaperones that sacrificed their family time and daily routines to help these students have the time of their lives!
Parties
Remember the excitement of being in Kindergarten at your first Christmas party? I loved seeing the special things you did today for our students. Thank you!
