From the desk of Mrs. Wyman...
Dear Patriot Parents,
I cannot believe it is December! Welcome to the busy holiday season. To kick off the holidays, we invite your family to join us for the PTO Holiday Open House on Thursday, Dec 2 from 5:30-7pm. There will be student art to view, games to play, and delicious cocoa and cookies. We do ask that visitors wear a mask while enjoying this holiday fun!
On Monday, December 6, we will kick off our 12 Days Before Christmas Break countdown. The student calendar for spirit days is included in this month's newsletter. There will be lots of opportunities to wear festive attire and even a few treat days.
Our Kindergarten and First & Second Grade students are preparing for their Christmas programs on December 14. The Kindergarten program will begin at 6:00pm, with doors opening at 5:30pm. The First & Second Grade program will begin at 7:00pm, with doors opening at 6:30pm. The program will be livestreamed (link to follow) or you are invited to come in person.
We will conclude our festive holiday fun with our Jefferson All School Sing. The All School Sing is scheduled for Tuesday, December 21 at 10:00am. If you are interested, you are welcome to join us to sing Christmas songs and see a few of our after school clubs perform their special talents.
Our Christmas Break begins at 11:55am on Tuesday, December 21. School resumes on January 10, 2022. We wish you & your family a wonderful holiday season!
Sincerely, Mrs. Wyman
