It’s December  Seasons Greetings!

 

A quick reminder for students to please remember to bring indoor shoes and keep them at school so that we can keep our classroom clean!  Remember to dress warmly for recess.  This includes wearing a hat, gloves, a scarf and sweaters! Layer up. Canadian weather is so unpredictable!

School will end for the year 2012 on Friday, December 21^st and shall begin again in the New Year on January 7^th, 2013!

We will have a small Christmas party so the Bat Crew should bring peanut-free, gelatin-free snacks for all to enjoy. Juice, chips, fruits and veggies, chocolates, and candy canes are some ideas. Napkins, and paper plates are also needed.
