We will be having a holiday grab bag gift exchange on the last day before our holiday break. Students do not have to participate. If they would like to girls should bring a gift suitable for a girl, and boys should bring a gift suitable for a boy. Please keep gifts at $5.00 or less.
Again, I would like to remind you that instead of BUYING anything for me, please make a donation to a local charity or share with our class some service project that your family is taking part in. The whole class loves hearing what individuals and families are doing to share the spirit of Christmas. That’s what it’s all about!!
