Holiday Party

Friday we will celebrate the upcoming holidays as well as the hard work students have put into this school year.  This class consistently follows the rules, shows respect and works hard so I would also like to celebrate them on Friday!  Students will be allowed to wear their pajamas, we will create a winter ornament and watch a movie.  I am looking for food donations, craft donations and volunteers to help with the craft (from 8:30-9:30).  Check your child's folder for the donation sheet.  Please return it on Monday so everyone will have plenty of time to gather their donation.  Thank you in advance for your time and your support!
