A Note from Ms. Weiner......at Parkview School 393-2775 We will be making simple crafts, in school which the children can give as a present to any person they choose for whatever reason they choose for the holidays that you celebrate. This enables all the children to participate regardless of religious preference. They are all integrated with the units we are doing on trees, gingerbread, and reindeer. We will be making 3 crafts possible more. If you could send $3.00 as a donation to help offset the costs it would be appreciated. The school does not have a funded budget for crafts or art. Thank you Ms. Weiner.

Dear Parents of Room 10/110 at Parkview School From Ms. Weiner and Ms. Yang 393-2775 We are going to learn about the following celebrations that other cultures participate in around the world, throughout the rest of the year.
