Christmas Shop: the Christmas Shop is on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Our class will be going shopping on Monday. All items are between $1-$2. Students can shop for their loved ones! 

Food Bank Donations: just a reminder, we are still collecting our items for the local food bank. If you are able to, I kindly ask that you send in the item or items that were noted on the sheet sent home. These items can be sent in anytime up until December 22nd. Thank you for your support!!

Skating: we will be going skating next week, December 22nd. Please let me know if the students will need skates or a helmet, or both, we have extras at the school. Grown ups are welcome to come. If you are going on the ice, you need skates and a helmet. Please refer to the memo that was sent home last week. 

Have a great week grade 1!! We are going to have lots of fun getting ready and excited for Christmas!!
