Dear Parents,
This year Grade 4 will be having our Christmas party on Thursday, December 18th. A few children have volunteered to bring a few treats and snacks on this day. Please check your child’s agenda for what they will be bringing.
Each child will also need to bring a mug/coffee cup for the party. We will be watching The Polar Express while sipping on some yummy, hot chocolate. If you would like to donate some hot chocolate or marshmallows, please see me.
Instead of doing a simple Secret Santa, we will be doing something a little different. There are many children who will be receiving nothing for Christmas this year, FBCS along with ARK will be collecting items to donate to families across the island. One thing we are really trying to instill in our students this holiday season is the importance of giving, even when you get nothing in return. A few items suggested by ARK are canned foods, toiletry items, boxed milk, household cleaners, diapers, wipes, children’s treats, food vouchers and so forth. No gift is too big or small. Please send whatever you are able to donate, as soon as possible, so that we can pass our bounty on to ARK to distribute before Christmas.
We’re also doing a Secret Santa during our class party, so I’m asking the students to each bring in a new, small, gift wrapped book for their Secret Santa. (Please ensure that books are new and unused.) Each student has secretly chosen a classmate to give to. I know things get tight this time of year so the limit for each book will be between $7 and $10 each.
Thank you so much for all your continued help and hard work. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.
Merry Christmas,
Mrs. Suckoo
