1. We will be having a holiday party on Friday, December 18th, at 1:15. Thanks in advance again for
making this a special time for the kids. More information to come!
2. Remember to check the radio or local news broadcasts for any delays or school closings. If we have a
homework assignment or a test assigned and there is a snow day beforehand or on that day, the
assignment will still be due and the test will still take place the first day we return to school.
3. The holiday sing-along is on the morning of December 18th as well.
4. Please let me know if your child will miss any school leading up to our winter break or right after our
winter break.
5. Thank you to all of the students and parents who purchased books from the Book Fair for our
classroom. I know we will all enjoy reading them!
