Christmas Party

We will have a Christmas party with our class on Friday, December 20th.  If your child wants to bring in a food or drink item they may.  I will supply plates and napkins.  We will also have a Christmas gift exchange if your child would like to participate.  I will send home a letter next week with more information.  The price of the gift would be $5.00.
