Holiday Programs
Please note that we will be using the parking lot at Covenant Methodist Church for overflow parking and will run a shuttle with our busses between the church and our school. We will also have the gate open to walk between the lots if you prefer.
Snow Time Shop
All students in Intermediates, Pre-Kindergarten, and all elementary students will have the opportunity to shop in our Snow Time Shop next week. We will have gifts for family and friends for the children to purchase for the holidays. Gifts will range in price from $.50 to $10. Each student will bring home a money envelope today. If you would like for your child to be able to shop for holiday gifts for loved ones, please return the envelope with cash or check enclosed. Please list on the envelope who they are supposed to be buying for; please list any additional information that we can use to help your student make their purchases. For example, Cousin John is an adult vs. a toddler; children sometimes have difficulty verbalizing those things, so we want to help them as best as possible.
Shopping will be done on a first come, first serve basis during the week next week. We will be shopping Monday through Friday, and the gifts will be in the office when the children go home.
Holiday Sign Up
As a reminder, elementary (Kindergarten through 6th Grades) must be signed up by the deadline of December 12th in order to avoid the additional drop in fees.
Polar Express Event - Friday, December 14th
Please note that the preschool building will be closing at 5:30 Friday evening in preparation of the event. Any children that are here after 5:30 will be moved to the elementary building. Thank you for your understanding!
