Looking Ahead to NEXT WEEK...

Let the hustle and bustle BEGIN! Next week is FULL of fun, merry making and memories galore. Here is a quick list with more information coming home in Friday folders tomorrow about all of the pre-holiday festivities: Tuesday December 15th: MAPS Math Test Thursday December 17th: All-School POLAR EXPRESS DAY! The children are invited to wear their jammies to school and bring a mug to exchange at our mug trade. There will be crafts, hot chocolate bar, movie and FUN. Thursday December 17th: Holiday Gift Shop! The children will have an opportunity to shop for items ranging from $1-$7 for family members for the holidays. Envelopes will be coming home in this week's Friday folders for their money and shopping list to be completed beforehand. Friday December 18th: GRINCH DAY! First graders are invited to dress in green. We will have all first grade classrooms open from 10-11 for various "Grinchy" activities and crafts. Holiday party is from 12:30-1 and we will be watching the Grinch cartoon from 1-1:30. Finally, our traditional all-school sing-a-long will be held at 2;45 in the commons for any and all who wish to join us. Please be sure to look through your child's backpack on Friday and find all of the information for next week's activities. It is such a WONDERFUL time to be a first grader!
