Dear Parents,

Tomorrow we will buddy read with Ms. Schultz’s kindergarten class.

On Wednesday all items for The Giving Tree project need to be turned in. If you have a tag, then bring your wrapped item to the office. If you are donating a personal item, then send it in with your child on or before Wednesday.

We will have our Christmas party at 12:20 — 3:00 p.m. Sanna Johnson, Rick Kubiskey, Christine LeSarge, Kelly Maser and Lisa Morley are helpers. I need my parent helpers to come at 12:00 p.m. This will give me some time to explain our Christmas art centers to you. Connie Bowman, Sanna Johnson, Christine LeSarge, and Kelly Maser will provide treats. Leslie Acton will provide the drinks. Heidi Wisniski will provide cups and plates.

Each child is responsible for bringing a new wrapped book with a nametag for the Christmas book exchange. We will exchange books at our Christmas party. The book should not cost more than $3.00. Your child may bring in their wrapped book at any time.

Next week there is no homework, parent letter or Thursday Folder. Have a safe and happy holiday. Our Christmas vacation begins on Thursday, December 23rd and school resumes on January 3rd. During Christmas break look at our web pages located at http://www.onekama.k12.mi.us/e2005/g1n/

The following dates you may want to add to your calendar:

  • Teacher In-service (No School) — January 21
  • Spring Sing — May 25

Warmly,

Shantel
