• December 14, Holiday Program at Fair Haven Church. Ask your child if they are in the “happy/love winter” group for one song. If they are they should bring a hat, earmuffs, head warmer or scarves with them to the holiday program that night.  They will use them during the performance and bring them home after the program.

• School Wide Pajama Day on Friday, December 15.
• Our classroom holiday party will be on Thursday, Dec. 21. from 9:15-10:30.
• Classroom Gift Exchange-For our gift exchange, we would like each child to bring in a small treat for each child in their class. Some ideas might be a pencil, candy cane, eraser, or other small items. Please make sure the item is wrapped, if it is food. We also would like each child to bring in a box wrapped in wrapping paper. The box needs to be able to be opened without unwrapping it. So, either wrap the lid separately or choose a box with flaps that can open and close. The kids will be putting the items they brought to share in each other’s boxes. We have 26 students in our class.
