OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
For the past couple of years, we’ve had the joy of participating in Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child by packing shoeboxes for children around the world. We will be creating class boxes, and families are also invited to pack their own shoebox if they’d like!
- For Class Boxes: Please send in items we can pack by Monday, Nov 18th.
- For Family Boxes: If you’re packing a shoebox as a family, please have it at school by Tuesday, Nov 19th.
Check the handout for more details on what to include in your box. Let’s make a difference together this Christmas!
THANKSGIVING FEAST
On Monday and Tuesday, Nov 25th & 26th, each class will celebrate with a Thanksgiving Feast! To make it extra special, I’m asking each student to bring a small snack-size baggie of a food item that can be mixed together to create a big snack mix! Suggestions include cereal, small candies, nuts (no allergies in the class), dried fruits, etc.
I’m also looking for two volunteers for each class to help with the feast. Let me know if you’re interested in volunteering!
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
📅 Mark Your Calendar for December 4th at 7:00 pm!
Please join us for a special evening as we kick off our birthday celebration for Jesus! This year, I’m asking that the children come dressed in their jammies and bring their favorite stuffie to the program! Christmas pajamas are a bonus, but not required.
Students can arrive in the classroom at 6:45 p.m. so we can walk down to the church together. We’ll have a short program followed by birthday cake in the basement. Let’s make this a memorable celebration!
