Dear Families,
We are looking forward to the Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow night. It looks like
it’s going to be a big turn-out.
Holiday Breakfast:
We wanted to go ahead and let you know about our Holiday Breakfast (we
combine both classes to come together and eat with family/friends, participate in
activities/crafts, and perform a few holiday songs for everyone). The breakfast will be on
December the 16th at 8:30 am in the cafeteria. There will be no afternoon preschool that
day because we will all be together at the same time. Details for that will be coming
home in the next few weeks, but we wanted to go ahead and let you know the date
because it seems to be quickly approaching. 

Don’t forget to check out the classroom blog: http://preschool-families.blogspot.com
