Week of 12/18-12/22/23 Reminders
Dear Parents,
1. Please refer to my email from Friday, 12/15 or the Sunday, 12/17 CAS email newsletter blast for information about the "Christmas Festive Wear" days.
2. Please note that for this Friday 12/22 Mass, students are asked to DRESS UP in their "Christmas Best" outfits. (NO GYM UNIFORMS OR SNEAKERS!!!!) Mr. Gartner will adjust Gym class activities, which will be a very, very short class on this Mass day with Early Dismissal schedule! 11:15am Fri. 12/22 Dismissal!
3. A big thank you goes to several mothers who provided all the materials and came into our classroom to help the students decorate Christmas cookies to take home to their families: Mrs. Cicchesi, Mrs. Gustafson, Mrs. Horn, Mrs. Michalak, and Mrs. Nardi. The kids had a great time piping the colorful icing and adding all kinds of sweet treats on top of their cookies. Then we had time for Christmas read aloud stories by a few moms as well as a fun game of Charades! I greatly appreciate the Christmas joy you brought into our classroom and our hearts!
