Cookie Decorating
Dear Parents/Guardians of St. Patrick Students,
St. Patrick Parent Council is organizing a Christmas cookie decorating activity for the students. All students from Junior Entry to Grade 6 will be decorating cookies. Tuesday/Thursday Kindergarten and Junior entry will be decorating on Thursday Dec.22 in their classrooms. All other classes will be decorating on Friday Dec. 23rd starting at 9am.
Parent council is supplying the cookies and candy. Please note that we have tried our best to keep the cookies peanut free but cannot absolutely guarantee that they are peanut free. If you are at all concerned about this, or any other dietary restriction, please feel free to send your child with their own cookies to decorate.
We have not allotted times for the classes, but will start with Kindergarten and work our way up. Everyone is welcome to join us this day, and if you are able to help as a volunteer that would be greatly appreciated. Please come and join the fun whenever you can.
Wishing you all A Very Merry Christmas.
