Week of Dec. 19-23

We had a lot of fun this week with Miss Jeanette talking about how children around the world celebrate Christmas in their countries!  It is amazing how some traditions are the same all around the world!

I am sure you have heard the kids singing plenty of Christmas tunes around the house over the last couple weeks!  They are all doing so great practicing their Christmas Program performance!  They are sure Santa will hear them and stop by to deliver a present!!!

Some of you have asked about exchanging presents with the kids for Christmas.  It is totally up to each indiviual family/parent if they would like to get a gift for the kids.  If they do, I would reccomend $5 or less/child.  What i do is have a bag for each child on Friday with their name on it, and it anyone brings a present for the kids, they may place it in the bag.  Then the kids open it when they get home, so no-one feels bad if they didn't buy presents.  If you chose to, there are 12 kids: Aidan, Logan, Maggie, Jack, Justin, Talon, Jeovanni, Marek, Grant, Beau, Levi and Dominic!  But once again do not feel obligated to.  I get something for everyone, as well as something small from "santa!"

If you would like to send a different shirt/sweater for your child to change into before the program on Friday, go ahead, just bring it in a bag with your child's name on it.

If you are on direct deposit, I did go ahead and adjust your payment for the week between Christmas and New Year, to only pay for Monday, Dec. 26th.  If you are still paying by check you can either add Monday, Dec. 26th payment ($30) to next week's tuition, or give me a seperate payment on Friday, Dec. 23.  Also if you would like to enroll in Direct Deposit next week would be a great time to set it up, since you won't be paying two week's at a day.  It would have to be set up and approved by Friday, Dec. 23 for it to take effect for the payment due to me on Jan. 2nd.  Let me know if you want me to get that set up for you.

Next week we will have a busy week getting ready for the party as well as making a lot of Christmas crafts, presents and decorations!

MENU:
Monday-Hot Dogs, baked beans, pears and milk
Tuesday-Sloppy Joes, carrots, fruit cocktail and milk
Wednesday-Ravioli, garlic bread, apple slices and milk

I HAVE EVERYONE HAS A FABULOUS HOLIDAY BREAK!  ENJOY TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHEREVER YOUR TRAVELS TAKE YOU!
