Christmas Program info: Students should come to school on 12/5 wearing their outfit for the Christmas show: Mrs. Smith suggested in her letter- white top and pants, angel costume or white robe, white dress or white skirt and top. NO angel wings. Shepherds typically wear a long robe with a tie around the waist. NO jeans or sweatpants. Those wearing robes or costumes from Mrs. Smith may wear their gym clothes then change and/or put the robe on at school. (Please remember to BRING the costume Tuesday morning if Mrs. Smith gave you one!) School doors will be unlocked at 6:30. Please plan to drop your child off between 6:30 and 6:40. For Advent students will be learning about the people that were waiting for Jesus and adding their ornaments to our Jesse Tree. They will also learn about the many names for Jesus. Students should have hung an Advent Calendar up at home this week that has ideas and ways to help prepare for Jesus’ birth! We are working on letter writing! The students will be writing Christmas letters to veterans during Advent. Hopefully your child can tell you the five parts of a friendly letter. Secret Santa shop info: SPX will once again be holding a Secret Santa shop in the PAC room. Our day to shop is Monday the 11th!
