I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We have been very busy in the classroom lately learning new skills and participating in our community service projects to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. I want to say a special thank you to those of you who volunteered your time last week to help sell Candy Cane Grams. Our second Community Outreach service project will be our 1st Grade teacher raffle. Raffle tickets will go on sale Tuesday, December 11th and Wednesday, December 12th from 7:30-8:00 in the auditorium.
Students will have the chance to buy as many raffle tickets as they want for the opportunity to spend the afternoon with any of the fabulous first grade teachers or to be a Media Specialist or Assistant Principal for the day. Raffle tickets are $1 each and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Ronald McDonald House.
In other exciting news, our class’ Holiday party is scheduled for December 18th from 1:15-2:00.
We will participate in our Book Exchange as well as celebrate together before the Holiday Break.
Please make sure to have your book wrapped and sent to school by Thursday, December 13th.
I know this is such a busy time of year, so I thank you for all of your help in these upcoming events J
