Second Grade Friday News - December 5

We did it!  Our class has collected $294 for Christmas gifts for three foster children.   Whatever we collect in the next two weeks, we will share with another class that hasn’t reached their goal.  Thank you for being generous as we teach our children to share God’s love.

Our CLS Christmas program will be on Thursday, December 18, at 6:30.  All students will participate.  Children should report to the classroom at 6:10 and wear their Sunday best.

For our class Christmas party, each child should bring a wrapped gift for our gift exchange.  Please spend as close to $5 as possible.  Have your child help select a gift that they know a friend would like.  Boys should bring a gift for a boy and girls should bring a gift for a girl. Some children have told me that they would like to exchange a chapter book for the gift exchange.  That’s fine with me.  Children who bring a book will be allowed to exchange their gift with another child who brought a book.  Wrapped gifts must be at school no later than Thursday, December 18.
