It is, indeed, a wonderful time of the year...Christmas is almost upon us! This is one of my favorite times of the year. Below is a look at next week, and I also want to talk about our class Christmas party next week Friday, our last day of school before break. It is a half day (early dismissal at 12:30) and starting at 11 am we will start the celebrations, beginning with a Pot-luck! Parents, if you could volunteer to bring in something to share for the party....fingers foods like chicken nuggets, cheese and crackers, meatballs, fruit, drinks, desserts, plates.....any great party food! (But remember, this will be our lunch.) Parents, if you are able please come to the party! :) It will be a fun time of food, games and activities.

Mrs. Kiomi Novak has volunteered to be our class Mom! Hooray! Sometime this weekend she will be sending out an email to all you parents with more details and she will start figuring out who can bring what to the party. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or Mrs. Novak - her email is kiominovak@ocsi.org
