Christmas Caroling
Each year classes choose a service project to do for members of our community. This year, the kindergarten students will be walking to the Senior Center on December 14th to spread some Christmas cheer with carols. We will leave right before lunch time and will arrive back to school promptly. Officer Polley will be walking with us for safety. We are asking that the children wear Christmas colors/apparel on the 14th and inviting them to wear Santa hats. Note: We will take photos and short recordings of this event. Due to limited space and safety regulations, families are not invited to attend. We want our seniors to be able to enjoy and view the children. Thank you for understanding.
