Christmas Part-eh Time!

The_Polar_Express,_2004,_Tom_Hanks

Dear Parents,

            This year Grade 4 will be having our Christmas party on Friday, 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.

            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 and I thought it would be nice to give to some of the children in the Nadine Andreas Foster Home. One thing I am really trying to instill in the students this holiday season is the importance of giving, even when you get nothing in return. The kids really need clothes, so they’re asking for gift certificates to J-Micheals, Atlantic Kids or Reflections.

            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
