First Grade Friday News - December 17


Thank you for your chapel offerings during the last few weeks.  Our class was able to buy gifts for two children. 

Our class Christmas party will be on Friday, December 21, at 1:00.  Our room mothers are planning games and refreshments for the party.  All parents are welcome to attend.  For our gift exchange this year, each child should bring a wrapped gift ($5 value).  Boys should bring a boy gift and girls bring a girl gift.  The gift should be wrapped with a gift tag attached that indicates the name of the child bringing the gift.  These gifts should be brought to school any day before December 21.

This will be the last First Grade Friday News that you will receive in your child’s backpack.  We will try to save a few trees by going paperless for the rest of the school year.  I will continue to send the newsletter by email each Friday and I will also post it on our blog each week.
