HAPPY BIRTHDAY!     Alexis – December 26 and Ty – December 27

NO HOMEWORK                                                                                                          
There is NO homework this week.  The only homework over the holidays is to read.

FIELD TRIP                                                                                                                               
I have lots of drivers for the field trip to MTYP on Tuesday, thank you.  My only problem is that I need all the drivers, but because people can only carry 2 or 3 children in their cars, I do not have enough adult tickets for everyone to attend the play.  Is there anyone who is still willing to drive but not come to the play with us? (and go shopping at the Forks instead?)  Please let me know as soon as possible.  Don’t forget to send your child’s booster seat if you want them to use it on the field trip.

MATINEE CHRISTMAS CONCERT                                                                                                      
This Wednesday, December 19 we will be having a Matinee Concert at the school for all of the extended family.  The concert begins at 10:30 and will be held in the chapel area. Please dress your child in EITHER – their blue BSLS t-shirt or fancy dress clothes.

EVENING CHRISTMAS CONCERT                                                                                                             
This Thursday, December 20, we will be having our Evening Christmas Concert at Beautiful Savior Church.  For the evening concert we are asking that the children dress up in fancy dress clothes.  Don’t forget to bring a pair of shoes and the violins.  The children need to be at the church at 5:15 pm.  Only the children will be allowed downstairs at the church beforehand.  Families will need their tickets to get into the door.  This concert begins at 6:00 pm.  There will be goodies downstairs afterwards.

HAMPER DELIVERY                                                                                                                           
Thank you for your help in making our classroom Christmas hamper.  I have enough people bringing gifts for the girls now.  I am still looking for one family to deliver the hamper.  If you are interested in helping us out, there is a sign–up sheet beside our classroom or you can e-mail me.  I would like the hamper food items by Wednesday.

FRIDAY                                                                                                                                                  
This Friday is our last day of school before the Christmas Break.  We will be singing carols around 1:30 pm and having our class parties around 2:15.                                                
Our snack parents are – Dawson, Gabby, Grace and Hadley

HAVE A JOYOUS CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR!

CHRISTMAS HAMPERS                                                                                              
1) Last week we chose food items to bring for the Christmas hamper that our class is making.  Your child should have brought home a slip of paper with their food choices listed on it.  If your child did not bring one home, please let me know, I do have a master copy.  If you’re are unable or do not wish to participate in this mission project, please let me know and I will make sure that those items come to school.

2) We are also asking for each family to send in a toonie ($2).  We will use this money to buy perishable food items.  (Milk, eggs, margarine, etc...)

3) There is also a sign-up sheet posted beside our classroom door if your family is interested in buying a gift for the two girls in our hamper family.

4) Lastly – We are looking for one family to volunteer to deliver our hamper.  If you are interested in helping us out, please let me know.

Thank you all so much for helping the students at BSLS share the joy of Christmas with a needy family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!          KAELAN       DECEMBER 6

OUR COMMUNITY 
We had a very busy week building our community called BOXTOWN.  Thank you for sending in all of the recyclables.  After we finished building our town, a giant guinea pig invaded and destroyed the town (a.k.a. Muffin).  The children took pictures of Muffin on, under and inside of their buildings and we will be writing and putting together a storybook called PIGZILLA! 

LIVING and LEARNING KITS                                                                                                  
For the month of December, we will be collecting new items for our Living and Learning Kits.  This month we are looking for packages of crayons and rulers.

CHRISTMAS CHEER BOARD HAMPERS                                                                               
Our school will be collecting food items for the Christmas Cheer Board Hampers.  Each class will have one family to make a hamper for.  The children will be choosing one or two items from the suggested list to bring for our class hamper.  We will send home a note with your child as soon as possible this week.  I will also be posting a sign-up sheet for presents if your family would like to buy gifts for the children in our hamper family.

MTYP FIELD TRIP                                                                                                               
I am sending home permission slips for a field trip to the MTYP.  We will be seeing Dr. Seuss’ – Cat in the Hat on Tuesday, December 18.  We will be leaving the school around 12:20 pm and returning around 2:30 pm.  If you are able to drive and/or chaperone for this field trip, please fill in the middle section of the permission slip.  Thank You
