Once again we have a busy week practicing for the Christmas Program. On Wednesday morning your children are to be dropped off at St. Patrick's Church by 8:00. Please do not take them to OLM School. I will be at the church by 7:30. Please make sure you have signed the permission slips. Only about half of them have been returned. They are needed in order that your child be transported back to school around 9:30. Drivers are needed.
Your children should be at the church Wednesday evening by 6:15. They are to wear nice clothes. It would be nice if the girls were in dresses. I know you will enjoy the Christmas Program. We have been working hard on it.
Curriculum remains the same. There will be no new vocabulary words this week. This is a great time to review. After Christmas break we will be starting timed subtraction facts. We will begin with problems in which the whole number that we start with is 10. For example: 10-3=7.
Thank you to those of you who have sent in the food items for the "Spirit of Christmas" dinner. Thank you to those of you who sent in items for the D Street Shelter. They were picked up on Friday. We will again be collecting after the new year. Again, thank you for your generous support.
Friday is a half day with dismissal at 12:30. Remember, there is NO extended care that day. The school closes down for Christmas vacation at 12:30.
Have a great week and a wonderful Christmas vacation. Remember the reason for the season. If you have read this blog have your child write down the color of the Advent candle that was lit on the Advent wreath. GOD LOVES YOU!
