Happy Holidays

The holidays are almost here!

Plans are in place for a fun holiday party for Ms. Musters' Class!

The party will be on Thursday, December 16th after lunch.(1:30).

Party fun includes, contributing to their community by making cards for Sheltering Arm Senior Services (located behind our school), collecting items for the Sheltering Arms Adopt-a-Senior Gift Basket Program, making snowflakes to take home and snacking while doing so! We will deliver all the items on Thursday before the party and sing a few songs to spread some holiday cheer.

We are asking that parents donate one item off of the Sheltering Arms Pantry list (see below).

There will be a field trip permission form coming home Tuesday for Sheltering Arms.

Parents are welcome to walk over with us!

Happy Holidays!
