Holiday Notes

I also sent a letter home with the same information that is on this post.

Christmas Store
When: December 7 at 1:00
How Much: $0.50 or $1
What: Students are able to buy up to two gifts at the store for a 50 cents each. It gives students the opportunity to buy gifts for their parents or guardians on their own. Volunteers wrap the gifts and prepare them to take home.

Gift Exchange
When: December 22nd
How Much: $3
What: Each child will bring a gift for another student. If your child is a girl they should bring a gift for a girl and if they are a boy they should buy a gift for a boy. We will draw numbers randomly to decide who gets the gift.

Holiday Supper
When: We’ll go food shopping on December 17th or 18th.
How Much: Your Choice
What: I know students look forward to giving gifts to teachers, but please donate money to this cause instead of giving me a Christmas gift. Our class will donate a holiday supper to a family who otherwise may not have one. As a class, the students will plan the menu and prepare a shopping list. One or two days before our Christmas break, three students (with parental permission) will go with me to a local grocery store to purchase the groceries with our class donations. The family will be someone who lives in the Iowa-Grant school district, however, neither the students nor I will know who the family is. Mrs. Belken will deliver the food to the family without us knowing who the family is.

Party Committee
When: December 22nd
Who: Allyson, Nathan, Keaton, and Kailey
What: These committee members will bring drinks and treats as well as plan games and activities for our Christmas party.
