Christmas Party

We will be having our classroom Christmas party on Wednesday, December 21.  For the party I am asking that each boy bring in a gift for a boy and each girl bring in a gift for a girl.  The price range for the gifts is $3.00-$4.00.  Please stay in this price range as the party is the most fun when all gifts are of a comparable value.

When your child brings the gift to school, please have him/her sign his/her name and address it to either a girl or boy.

We will be having a trail mix for our snack.  I would like each student to bring in one cup of a crunchy-munchie type snack item to add to it.  Good items for this mix are popcorn, pretzels, chex cereal or any cereal, Cheetos, bugles, small crackers, etc.  We do have a few allergies in our class so please avoid anything with peanuts or peanut butter.  Thanks!

Reminder:  Our Christmas program is Tuesday, December 20 at 7:00.  Hope to see you there.
