Thank you to all the parents who helped with our sewing projects last week.  We are lucky to have such a helpful community of parents in our class.  Next week we will be baking on Tuesday, December 10th from 12:15-1:40.  Thank you to all of the parents who have volunteered to help with this.  Students will be asked to bring in icing and decorations for the cookies we are baking.  It will also be helpful to send a small container so they can bring their cookies home.  I will send more information later this week. 

Here are the events and reminders for this week:

This week:

    • Winter Concert - Jan 23 -  Thanks to support from our PAC, our children are able to participate in an Artist in Residence Music program with Gill Chater, retired Music specialist teacher, formerly of Brentwood! In order to allow sufficient time for children to prepare for the performance, we need to move our concert to this date. There will be 2 shows-- one afternoon show, and one evening show. We kindly ask you attend one show only to allow all families a chance to see their children perform. More details to come after the winter break.

Have a great week.
