Christmas Party White Elephant Gift

On Friday, December 20th (this Friday) we will have a Christmas Party in our classroom.  We will be having an activity in which “White Elephant” gifts are shared.  We ask that each student bring a wrapped gift that is not worth more than $2 to the party.  Old household items can be wrapped in case you choose not to purchase an item.  We ask that all students keep their gift a secret in order to  make the game more enjoyable.

Christmas Break

School will be out for the Christmas Break from December 21st- January 5th.  School will resume on Monday, January 6th.

Christmas Wishes
I would like to take the time to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Unbelievably, almost ½ of the school year is over and I have thoroughly enjoyed your children and your support.  We have a class of great kids who work hard and have wonderful personalities.  It has been a pleasure to have each of them in my class and to have the opportunity to get to know them.  I hope that you all have a joyous Christmas and that you are able to spend quality time with your families.  Merry Christmas to all of you and have a safe and memorable holiday season.
