We sent out an email today with this information, but just in case...
Just a few reminders with all of our Christmas stuff going on this week!
*Our class Christmas parties will be held on Wednesday 12/13 or Thursday 12/14, depending on attendance days. Check with your child's teacher for more information.
*Our last practice for the Christmas program is this Wednesday! I've attached a few mp3s of the songs being sung this year--and there will be some practice pictures on the blog later today. Don't forget to take a look at your child's classroom blog. It's a great way to see some of the highlights of what's going on in the classroom each week.
*On Friday, our 2s are the only classes that do carpool. We ask that our 2s start carpool in the back parking lot at 8:35 so we can be finished by 8:50. At that time, we'll open the building doors so that the rest of our students can be walked in by their parents. The Sanctuary doors will be opened at 8:30 and the program will start promptly at 9:15.
For our whole school performances, classes will be in the same positions they were for the Thanksgiving program. The 4s will be on the left side of the altar, then Mrs. Knudsen's class in center left, Miss Didi's class center right, and Mrs. Heebner's class on the right. When the 2s come in, Miss Jaycie's class will be on left, Mrs. Anderson's class in the middle, and Miss Emily's class on the right. The program lasts about 40 minutes.
*Our Christmas cookies have started to arrive! After our Christmas program, everyone is invited to stop back at Fellowship Hall for some cookies and milk (or punch!) We will have store-bought cookies available, but we ask that each family send in a dozen home-made cookies along with the recipe to help fancy things up! You can send these in any time this week--or drop them off before the program on Friday. We'll share the recipes on the blog after the holidays.
*Last but not least, here's a quick health update...We've had isolated cases of strep, the stomach bug, and respiratory/ear infections throughout the building, but no major outbreaks. We've got our fingers crossed that everyone remains healthy through the Christmas holidays and into the New Year!
