Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

The Christmas season is here!  I hope it will be a wonderful time for you and your family.  I'll just share a favorite quote of mine that ties in with the season“For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.” ― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Thanks so much for everyone's support of the Book Fair last month! It was a lot of fun and I hope that you and your children love their books!

*Cookie Exchange: To avoid an extra refreshment fee at the library, I thought it'd be fun to have a cookie exchange the day of the program. Please bring a dozen of your favorite cookies before or after school on Wednesday, the 17^th! I will distribute them all onto individual plates and wrap them up so that you can take them with you after the program is over that night. Everyone will leave with a dozen different cookies and there will be no mess for the library to clean up. Win-Win! :)

**Christmas Program @ the Southwest Branch Library 1950 W. 4800 S., Roy.

For the Christmas Program, I would like the children to wear best dress please. You and your family can wear whatever you'd like. :) Please feel free to invite grandparents and anyone else you'd like to this. The children will each have a short line that I'd like you to help them memorize. They'll get to practice it lots of times in school, but it'd be great when I hand those out if you could help your child practice. I also am looking for a small Christmas tree as part of the program. (i.e. anywhere from 2-4 feet) If any one has a little one they'd loan me for the program, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much! After the program is over, there will be a small craft that you can stay and do with your family if you'd like to. :)

~Christmas Village in Ogden. We will have a fun tour of Christmas Village given by none other than Mrs. Claus at 10am on December 19^th. We will meet at the school at 9:30 so that we can get everyone buckled up. I need two volunteer drivers/chaperones. This is free for any parents who want to join us. If you would like to bring other children it's free for them too, I just need to let them know a headcount by Dec. 12^th. Please sign up on the bulletin board inside the preschool. You may also meet us in front of Santa's Castle (by the amphitheater) at Christmas Village at 10 if you prefer. Please let me know your plan so I don't leave anyone behind. Thank you!

^Christmas Break: No school from Dec.23rd-Jan 5^th. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

There are two other class programs that night right before and right after the P.M. Group, so please try to be on time. Plus, the program goes really fast—I would hate for anyone to miss out on it. :) After the program is over, there will be a small craft that you can stay and do with your family if you'd like to.

~Christmas Party: If you would like to volunteer to help with decorating sugar cookies or could bring a holiday game to play please sign up on the volunteer sheet in the preschool. Thanks so much!!
