Miss Karen's Newsletter December 16 - 19, 2013

Dear Families,
I hope that you will be able to join us for the Winter Program.
The A.M. Program will be Thursday, December 19, from 9:30 - 10:30.  The singing part of the program starts promptly at 9:30.
The P.M. Program will start promptly at 12:50.  After the program we will have some refreshments.

Adopt A Gingerbread Man
You can adopt your child's gingerbread man or another child's gingerbread man for 50 cents per heart.  Put your name on the heart and put the heart on the gingerbread man that you want to adopt.  Your child will get their gingerbread man back on the 19th.  The proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the Oregon Guide Dogs.

Homework Folders
I am trying to collect the purple homework folders on Fridays, so that it will be easier to maintain the paperwork.  Please keep the homework calendar at home so that you always have it.

Homework over Winter Break
Please continue to work on the December Homework Calendar if you have time.

This is the time of year that I like to reflect upon my blessings.  I feel so fortunate to have a career that I truly enjoy.  I get to see the world every year through the eyes of young, curious learners.  They always make the world so special.  I get to work with parents that are so eager to help out in any way they can.  I cannot begin to tell you how awesome that is.  Thank you for letting me be a part of your child's life and yours.  Wishing you the very best of the Winter Holidays!

No school on Friday, December 20
School resumes on Monday, January 6

With warmest regards,
Karen
