Good Afternoon!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Happy Second
Week of Advent- The Week of Peace! I am excited for another amazing week ahead.
Please see below for important info:
1) 50/50 Tickets went home in homework folders today. Our Reading folders also went home today with our new weekly work, it is due back on Friday.
2) A letter explaining our “Kindergarten Christmas Gift Exchange” went home in homework folders today. Gifts are asked to be back to school no later than 12/20 please. :)
3) Next week we have a lot of fun happening here at STS:
- On Wednesday, December 14th there will be NO after care available (it is still a regular full day of school).
-On Thursday, December 15th will be our K-8th Grade Christmas Concert in the evening (time to come- typically around 6:30/7:00) students will be asked to come dressed in their “Festive Sunday Best”.
-On Friday, December 16th will be the most magical & TOP SECRET special day for our class, our Polar Express Day! More Info to come by the end of this week but briefly to explain: students are told that they have earned a “ Pajama Party” so they are asked to come in their jammies and the whole day will be spent aboard the Kindergarten Express as we have lots of fun and surprises for them. We do need some help making this day as magical as possible, so if you are interested in assisting, please see the sign up genius below:
