Good morning everyone! We will be having our annual Christmas party for the children’s class this week. We will be having this a bit different than in the past. Below is how it will work:

There will be three separate Christmas parties for each respective class – homeschool, beginner’s and advanced. Each party will be toward the end of the normal class time. Therefore, homeschool class will have their party on Thursday morning, beginner class will have their party on Thursday night, and advanced class will have their party on Friday night – all this week.

Parents are more than welcome to donate small snacks (cookies, muffins, etc) and drinks (small water bottles, small juice boxes, etc).

There will also be a gift exchange in each class. This is very simple: bring a gift to take home a gift! This means that all students and their siblings may participate in the gift exchange. We ask that each person that wants to participate to please bring a wrapped, non-gender specific, gift in the price range of $2.00 to $5.00. When the child arrives for class please have them deliver the gift to Si Mo. She will be collecting all gifts and noting which children will be participating.

We know that this week is busy for everyone but we look forward to seeing everyone.
As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me in person, by phone, or by email. We wish you all a blessed day!
