What’s Needed?
A letter went home yesterday for our good deed tree which is on our bulletin board. Please don’t forget to write on an ornament when your child does a good deed or helps at home. Have your child color it and then send it in for our tree. Thank you! Please consider sending in unwrapped items for our adopted family for the holidays if you are able to. All items should be in by Wednesday, December 17th. If you need another copy of the letter, please let me know. We could use a donation of hot chocolate and fruit for Tuesday, December 23rd for polar express day. Please let me know if you can help with this. Thank you! Please send in hats and mittens for your child on the cold days as we try to get out whenever we can. Also if your child has extra clothes kept here at school and they are from warmer weather, please send in warmer clothes in the event that your child has an accident, spills, etc. I hope you all have wonderful and relaxing holidays. Thank you for your constant help, thoughtfulness, and support. It is much appreciated! Wishing you all a healthy and happy new year! As always if there are any questions and/or concerns, please let me know.
