Christmas Gifts and Party

Christmas is almost upon us and it's time to think about our classroom party. We welcome any students that would like to contribute snacks, soda, cookies, plates, or cups for our party on the 17th. Please let us know what you intend to send along by Monday, Dec. 14th so that we are sure to get a variety of food and drink.

Instead of a gift exchange, we will be collecting $5.00 per student to cover the cost of care package items for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the cost of the postage for these packages. We have the names of about 5 people in the military who would really appreciate a package. The cost of sending a package has risen to about $12.00 per package, so after the $60.00 is taken out to send the packages, the remainder will be used to purchase items to put in the packages. They are becoming more particular about what they are allowing to be sent over, so I thought it might be easier for me to purchase the items rather than asking you to send things in for the care packs. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hope you're enjoying your preparations to celebrate Christ's birth!!!

Great Bulletin Board Tony, David, and Richard!
