Good evening. I finally got so far behind, I am doing a Monday evening instead of a Monday morning.
It's a very busy time of the year. We are involved in so much at school - first the fund raiser. The fund raiser is nearly over, so if you have candy left to sell, do so quickly. Candle sales are due this week. We want to thank everyone for all the work involved in selling this candy. Without your help, we could not run the school.
We are doing something new this year and it involves a treat just after class. We are making a new cookie recipe every day for the kids to sample and give their seal of approval. We hope the children will enjoy this. Today we had Ginger Cream cookies, and tomorrow we will have thumb print cookies with a mint kiss.
As a charity project, we will be adopting four gentlemen who are victims of AIDS. Their needs are few and basic. If you can find it in your heart to give a little something to one of these guys to help them celebrate Christmas, blessings on you! The list went home today with the children.
On December 18th we will be going to the Nutcracker Suite at the Victory Theatre. This wonderful ballet is performed for a children's audience. It's 1.5 hours and beautifully done. The cost will be $10.00.
Information about Santa gifts also went home today. If you have questions, please ask a teacher.
Beve Pietrowski will be taking school pictures on Wednesday December 9. She is a wonderful photographer. She will be at school between 8:00 and Noon.
Just a note: We are beginning to "get quiet" before we use the bathroom before meals, and at the table before grace. This has been hard for the children, but it cuts down on the tremendous and obnoxious screaming that ensues from children who don't start the meal out in silence. Works.
Lots more to come...
