We have been very busy preparing 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. We are having a dress rehearsal that morning. Your child will then be transported back to OLM School. Please make sure that you drop off a booster seat with your child. I will use all the parents that have said they would drive provided they have all of their forms in the office and have Safe Environment Training and have been fingerprinted. There will be a note in your child's planner as to what time you need to be at St. Pat's to pick up the children. I still do not have all the permission slips. If you have not turned it in...please do so.
Your children should be at the church Wednesday evening by 6:15. If you are there prior to 6:15 please make sure your child is sitting with you. They are not to be in their places until I am there. They are to wear nice clothes. It would be nice if the girls wore dresses. I would prefer no jeans for anyone. I know you will enjoy the Christmas Program. We have been working hard on it. Some of your children are still not singing. Please remind them to participate.
I have received many of the food items for the "Spirit of Christmas" dinner. Thank you to all. If you have not turned in anything please do so this week by Thursday.
The first grade is responsible for St. Vincent lunches on Friday.
Your child will not be bringing home their planner on Friday. I will have them leave it at school.
Friday is the end of the second quarter. Report cards will go out the week we return to school.
Friday is a half day with dismissal at 12:30. They will have a pizza lunch that day as a treat. Remember, there is NO extended care that day. The school closes down for Christmas vacation at 12:30.
There are no vocabulary words this week. It is a great time to review. 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 this week on the Advent wreath. GOD LOVES YOU!
