Christmas events next week

Next week is packed full of activities!  Here is what you need to know...

On Monday we are picking up the Harvest House Donations from our neighbours.  Please congratulate your children on that day for a job well done. We trudged through some deep snow today, in the freezing cold, withstanding the urge to play - all in the name of helping others this holiday season and we will do it again on Monday.

Wednesday is the Christmas concert.  For the evening performance, no particular costume is required.  Children typically come in their "Christmas best."  

Thursday, the firefighters are scheduled to visit after lunch to speak to the children about fire safety.  It would be great to review with them at the end of the day to see what they remember!  I will try to get info and pics up on the blog to facilitate these conversations.

Friday is a party day for us.  Children are welcome to wear their pyjamas to school on that day.  We will make some crafts, and gingerbread houses (thanks Colleen!), and just generally enjoy spending the day together before the long break.  If you wish to contribute anything to the class to make the day more special, please publish info to this post.  

They will have a goody bag for treats or trinkets if you wish to send something.  Last year a parent brought in hot chocolate for everyone which they LOVED.  

I will provide a pizza lunch so there will be no need to send any lunch that day!  

Lastly, they are bringing home a gift for their family on Friday.  If your child will be away or ends up staying home sick that day, please either pick it up early, or make arrangements for someone in the school to pick it up for you.  I would hate for them to miss out on having it under the tree for Christmas.
