Happy Holidays!

Thank you for the generous gift cards, all the delicious treats, and homemade treasures!  We appreciate your thoughtfulness. 
We also want to send a thank you to all who helped out with our Class Holiday party. We appreciate all of you who contributed snacks and helped with the crafts and clean-up.  A great time was had by all!

We also want to send out a huge thank you for your generous donations to our 5th Annual Adopt a Family from the Forgotten Children Program.
Because of your kind generosity the children received all the gifts on their wish lists!

December Greetings!

Just a friendly reminder that our
Books & Bites evening event is coming up on Wednesday, December 7th at 6:30.  We will all gather in the classroom for light appetizers, desserts and beverages from 6:30 - 7:00.  At 7:00 Mrs. Perine's class will move to the library for their presentation and Mrs. Angus' class will begin presentations in the classroom. 
The students have been working hard and are very excited to share their published books with friends and family.  Hope to see you there!

5th Annual Adopt a Family!

Recently we have been reading books and learning about people who are less fortunate all around the world, and in our own country. Again this year, in the spirit of giving, our class will be adopting two families in need from
The Forgotten Children's Organization.
Our class Giving Tree is now in the classroom decorated with gift tags listing personal information about each child. If you would like to donate to the families, we invite you to come in and choose a tag from the tree. You can also send a note in with your child, telling whether you would like to donate to a boy or girl. Please wrap your gifts with the gift tag attached, and send them back to school by Friday, December 16th. Thank you for your kind generosity.

Our Christmas Celebration will be Thursday, December 15th, from 1:30 - 3:20.  We will be creating crafts, singing songs, and munching on marvelous holiday treats.  Please join us for this special
holiday celebration!

Help! We Need Cans!
Please send in clean tin cans . . . 6 oz. (tiny), 28 oz. (large), and 32 oz (larger).  We will be recycling these at the end of the year for our Manatee Tin Canatees - personal trophies designed especially for each student. Thank you!
