The Final Stretch
One more week until the holiday break and what a busy week it will be! Tuesday night is the Holiday Program at Wheaton Compass Church. The program will start at 7 PM. Please arrive at 6:30 PM to beat the crowd and help set up. Although the name of the church has changed, it is the same wonderful venue that continues to host our program. Kindergarten and First graders will be housed upstairs; Second and third graders will be housed downstairs. Fourth and Fifth graders will sit in the church. Please be available to assist students to their locations.
Practice for the program will take place Tuesday at 1:15 PM. We will begin to call classes down shortly after the hallways are clear.
Classroom holiday parties will take place on Friday, December 18th and will begin at 2:15 PM. Continue to monitor the food that enters your classroom and make sure that all items have the ingredients label affixed to the package.
Ugly Sweater Day is Thursday, December 17th
Important Dates to Note:
Family Reading Night will take place on Thursday, April 28th. More information will be provided as we approach the event.
I have been working closely with the PTA Cultural Arts chairpersons to identify high quality assemblies for the 2nd half of the school year. Here are the assemblies and dates that were selected:
American Eagle Productions-February 18
-K, 1, 2 show at 1:15 PM
-3, 4, 5 show at 2:15 PM

This is a combination of rope jumping, dance and rhythmic gymnastics and is a celebration of creativity, self-expression and perseverance.
