Dear Parents,
     I want to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!  Safe travels to all of you who are traveling to be with family.  I am not going to complete a formal letter, but just want to make you aware of some things before the break!!

Thanksgiving - Thanksgiving break is here!!! We get out at 2:10 on Wednesday, and have no school Thursday or Friday.  Enjoy the break and the time with family!

Advent - Remember Advent starts on Monday.  We will be lighting an Advent wreath here at school during prayer.  The student will also have advent angels and do activities together with their partner throughout Advent.

Dress Rehearsal for Christmas Concert: The Christmas concert dress rehearsal is on Friday, December 6th. Please check the take home folder for the permission form.  We will be going to the YMCA for practice.

Lighted Christmas Parade: The Civics Club is helping put together a float for the Lighted Christmas Parade. The parade is on Thursday, December 5th at 7:00 pm. We will be in need of students to walk along with the float and hand out "testamints" and holy cards. 

Art- I am looking at trying to get in an art project in the month of December.  This project requires the student to have a milk jug.  It doesn't matter what size, it can be gallon or half gallon, but MUST be plastic.  No cardboard.  Have your child bring one in whenever you can in the first couple weeks of December.  Please be sure to rinse them out thoroughly so there will be no curdled milk smell.  If you are on Pinterest you can go to my "education" board and see the project I plan to do.  When the students bring it home they are going to want a small strand  of white Christmas lights.  I was hoping to get done and send home and people could find lights on clearance after Christmas to put in it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

God Bless,
Mrs. Sickels
