Tomorrow is our Christmas decorating party, thank you to all who have sent in items. Thank you to the parents that are coming in to help, I wonder if there is anyone else available to help with a station or two. It is from 1-3 tomorrow afternoon. Please let me know if you are able to come and help.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Jersey Day. Students are welcome to wear a Jersey with casual bottoms. If they don’t wish to participate then they should come in their uniform.

It seems to soon to be talking about Christmas, however we are one month away from Christmas holidays!! Next week, on November 24th, we will be having our Christmas decorating party. We will be decorating cookies, making decorations for the classroom, and having treats. I am hoping to have a couple volunteers to help with bringing some items for the party:

2 parents to bring sugar cookies (we have 23 kids in the class)

2 parents for icing

4 parents to bring a cookie decorating item such as sprinkles or candy (1 item each)

a few parents to bring a treat to enjoy

If anyone would like to come and join in the festivities you are more than welcome. The “party” will be from 1-3 on the 24th.

If you could let me know by email if you are able to help with any of the items on the list it would be greatly appreciated!!

I am really looking forward to meeting with parents tomorrow for interviews. If you were not able to sign up and would like to meet you can email me and I’m happy to meet on a different day before or after school.

Just a reminder that today, tomorrow, and Thursday we will be hosting the Scholastic Book Fair in the school lobby.

Tomorrow is our Remembrance Day assembly, the students will be receiving a poppy to wear during the assembly. If you have any spare change to donate it would be greatly appreciated. Students can bring a donation to class and i will deliver it to the office.
