It always seems so early to send out the holiday letter, but I like to get it out before Black Friday (or is it Black Thursday now). I am sending the same information below home tonight too.
Christmas Store
When: December 3-7 (Date to be Determined)
How Much: $0.50 or $1.00
What: Students are able to buy up to two gifts at the store for $0.50 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 20th
How Much: $5
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 each gift.
Holiday Supper
When: We’ll go food shopping on December 19th or 20th (depending on weather)
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, four 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 20th
Who: Abby, Montanna, Nicole, Jackie, and Alyson
What: These committee members will bring drinks and treats or plan games and activities for our Christmas party. We won't start planning until December though.
