Happy Holidays! To make the last day before the Christmas break memorable for our children, we have planned an exciting day for them.

We are going to have a “Holiday Happenings” day where the students will travel from classroom to classroom creating holiday crafts, hearing the story of Polar Express and watching the movie. As a special treat, the children will enjoy cookies and hot chocolate.  Students are invited to wear their pajamas that day with school appropriate shoes.

We have been working on family gift bags that the students will have you open on Christmas morning.  I hope you enjoy your gifts!!

If you have questions, you can contact me for more information.

Thank you,
Mrs. Marrow J
